Abstract
A method of adjusting energy delivered by a renewable energy system to an electrical grid and an energy-consuming load is disclosed. The method may comprise determining a production schedule of a renewable energy system (RES) and establishing a prioritization order between the electrical grid and the energy-consuming load. The method may further comprise setting a power receiving threshold for the electrical grid or the energy-consuming load based on the prioritization order, and adjusting the energy delivered by the RES by controlling a first amount of energy delivered to the electrical grid and a second amount of energy delivered to the energy-consuming load. A variability schedule of at least one of the first amount of energy or the second amount of energy can be amplified or dampened over a time period relative to the natural variability energy production schedule of the RES.
