1. A method for determining an energy delivery schedule for a first renewable energy power plant (REPP) and a second REPP connected to an energy grid at different points of delivery, the method comprising:
forecasting energy production by a first renewable energy power plant (REPP) and a second REPP during a time period;
identifying two or more possible delivery schedules for the first REPP and the second REPP, wherein the identified two or more possible delivery schedules ensure that during the time period a first energy storage system (ESS) in the first REPP complies with a first state of charge limit and a second ESS in the second REPP complies with a second state of charge limit;
forecasting a measure of value of energy delivered at the energy grid to which energy produced by the first REPP and the second REPP are respectively provided;
selecting a delivery schedule from the two or more possible delivery schedules for the first REPP and the second REPP, wherein the selected delivery schedule is selected based on minimizing a measure of risk of not delivering a desired quantity of electricity; and
sending a first control signal to the first REPP and a second control signal to the second REPP to implement the selected delivery schedule at the first REPP and the second REPP, wherein the first control signal and the second control signal provide separate control of the first REPP and the second REPP.
