Dispatchable renewable energy generation, control and storage facility

This invention describes a system that combines renewable energy sources, specifically wind or solar, with integrated energy storage. It manages when to generate, store, and release power to the electrical grid, adjusting based on weather forecasts and demand to make renewable energy more reliable. For wind farms, the system includes specific modules to predict extreme weather, wind shadows, and monitor turbine wear.

Why it matters: The 2012 filing predates widespread grid-scale battery storage and advanced AI for predictive control. Today, improved battery technology and sophisticated machine learning for weather forecasting and turbine health monitoring make the integrated storage and detailed prediction modules described in the claims significantly more viable.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedLarge-scale power generation, grid integration, control software.
