1. A method for implementing power delivery of an integrated renewable energy source and energy storage system (RES-ESS) facility that includes a renewable energy source (RES) and an energy storage system (ESS), the method comprising:
estimating output of a renewable energy source (RES) and maximum output of the RES to an electric grid;
charging an energy storage system (ESS) up to an ESS threshold value from a difference between the output of the RES and maximum output of the RES to the electric grid, wherein the output of the RES is greater than the maximum output of the RES to the electric grid;
determining an excess power not delivered to the ESS when the difference exceeds the ESS threshold; and
storing an excess power value corresponding to the determined excess power.
