Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An energy storage system (ESS) and a method thereof are disclosed. The system includes a maximum power tracking control unit changing a controlled variable for maximum power point extraction in proportion to an hourly current and power slope of the power generating unit, setting the change amount of the controlled variable to be relatively large if the hourly current and power slope is out of a predetermined hourly current and power slope range, and setting the change amount of the controlled variable to be relatively small if the hourly current and power slope is within a predetermined hourly current and power slope range, and a maximum power extracting unit extracting and converting a maximum power from the power generating unit in response to a control of the maximum power tracking control unit.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An energy storage system (ESS) for tracking and extracting a maximum power from a power generating unit, the system comprising: a maximum power tracking control unit changing a controlled variable for maximum power point extraction in proportion to an hourly current and power slope of the power generating unit, setting a change amount of the controlled variable to be relatively large if the hourly current and power slope is outside a predetermined hourly cur…
