1. An energy storage control system comprising:
a plurality of inverters configured to output power to a load;
a plurality of energy storage units; and
a controller configured to:
determine a required power for the load;
compare the required power for the load with a power rating of the plurality of inverters and determine a number of the plurality of inverters to provide the required power; and
send a control signal to connect one or more of the plurality of energy storage units with the determined number of the plurality of inverters, wherein the control signal is a first control signal, the set of inverters is a first set of inverters, and the one or more of the plurality of inverters is a first one or more of the plurality of inverters;
wherein the controller is configured to:
establish a schedule according to the determined number of the plurality of inverters, the schedule including a plurality of time periods for power delivery by different sets of the plurality of inverters, including the first set of inverters, for different time periods of the plurality of time periods; and
send the first control signal to connect the first one or more of the plurality of energy storage units with the first set of the plurality of inverters for a first time period of the plurality of time periods and a second control signal to connect second one or more of the plurality of energy storage units with a second set of the plurality of inverters for a second time period of the plurality of time periods.
