PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an energy-asset control system for utilizing an energy asset to provide one of two or more modes of operation services.SOLUTION: The system includes: an economic optimizer module 304 configured to identify at least one mode of operation opportunity on the basis of current and/or future market conditions; a battery prediction module 308 configured to perform a prediction analysis associated with the mode of operation opportunity for an energy asset using an existing model, and determine a confidence level associated with the prediction analysis; and a battery controller 310. The economic optimizer module is further configured to, in response to the predictions module determining the confidence level exceeding a predetermined threshold, determine an expected profit of the mode of operation opportunity on the basis of outcomes of the prediction analysis; and optimize, over a predetermined time period, a usage of the energy asset on the basis of the expected profit of the mode of operation opportunity. 【課題】操作サービスの２つ以上のモードのいずれかを提供するようにエネルギ資源を利用するためのエネルギ資源制御システムを提供する。【解決手段】現在及び／又は将来の市場状況に基づいて操作機会のうちの少なくとも１つのモードを識別するように構成された経済的最適化モジュール３０４と、既存のモデルを使用したエネルギ資源の操作機会モードに関連する予測分析を実行し、予測分析に関連する信頼性レベルを判定するように構成されたバッテリ予測モジュール３０８と、バッテリコントローラ３１０とを含む。経済的最適化モジュールは、さらに、所定の閾値を超える信頼性レベルを判定する予測モジュールに応答して、予測分析の結果に基づいて操作機会モードの期待利益を判定し、所定の期間にわたって操作機会モードの期待利益に基づいてエネルギ資源の使用量を最適化するように構成されている。【選択図】図３
