1. A system for supplying power to a power grid, the system comprising:
a battery storage system including one or more electric vehicle (EV) battery packs, a battery pack controller communicatively coupled to the one or more EV battery packs, and a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) communicatively coupled to the battery pack controller, each of the one or more EV battery packs including one or more batteries;
a power generator; and
a storage management system with a processor communicatively coupled to the SCADA of the battery storage system and the power generator, the processor configured to:
generate a first command to direct generated energy from the power generator to the battery storage system;
transmit the first command to the power generator;
determine a demand index based on power grid demand and supply data, the demand index indicating a predicted power demand from the power grid;
generate a second command to discharge battery-stored energy from the battery storage system to the power grid based on the demand index; and
transmit the second command to the SCADA of the battery storage system; and
in response to receiving the second command, the battery storage system discharges battery-stored energy from the battery storage system to the power grid.
