Abstract

An example system may include an energy storage unit and various processors configured to communicate with components of the energy storage unit to track, classify, and route event data as well as automatically perform actions and notify stakeholders of the event data. The example system may receive event data describing one or more events associated with an energy storage unit and the system may determine that the one or more events include a fault. The system may determine whether the fault is automatically addressable and, responsive to determining that the fault is automatically addressable, automatically execute one or more actions based on the fault. The system may automatically provide a notification describing the fault to a user.

The system may receive weather forecast data for the node and determine a power production model for the node that predicts a future power production using the weather forecast data. The system may compute a predicted power differential using the consumption model, the production model, and a current context of the node. The system may perform automated operations using the predicted power differential, such as charging or discharging an energy storage unit or controlling one or more power loads.
