1. A method comprising:
generating a time-varying charge/discharge control signal for an electrical storage device, wherein generating the time-varying charge/discharge control signal comprises:
identifying a prioritization order of a stack of simultaneously operating control modes, the stack of simultaneously operating control modes including a staging mode and at least two additional control modes, each control mode of the stack comprising a plurality of control signal candidate values;
identifying an intersection of control signal candidate values from the plurality of control signal candidate values of each control mode of the stack according to the prioritization order; and
determining at least one time-varying charge/discharge control signal for the electrical energy storage device based on the intersection of control signal candidate values.
