POWER SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18336233 titled 'POWER SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a power system that consists of a central unit, a zone unit, and an electric wire connecting a downstream unit to the zone unit. The central unit sends electric wire characteristic data to the zone unit, which writes this data into a storage device and determines whether to turn off a semiconductor switch based on the data and current detection.
- The power system includes a central unit, zone unit, and electric wire.
- The central unit transmits electric wire characteristic data to the zone unit.
- The zone unit writes the transmitted data into a storage device.
- The zone unit determines whether to turn off a semiconductor switch based on the written data and current detection.
Potential Applications
- Power distribution systems
- Smart grid technology
- Industrial automation
Problems Solved
- Efficient transmission of electric wire characteristic data
- Accurate determination of when to turn off a semiconductor switch
Benefits
- Improved power system efficiency
- Enhanced control and monitoring capabilities
- Reduced energy waste
Original Abstract Submitted
A power system includes a central unit, a zone unit capable of communicating with the central unit, and a downstream electric wire configured to electrically connect a predetermined downstream unit to the zone unit. A central processor of the central unit executes processing including transmitting electric wire characteristic data stored in a central storage device to the zone unit at a predetermined timing. A zone processor of the zone unit executes processing including writing the electric wire characteristic data transmitted from the central unit into a zone storage device in response to reception of the electric wire characteristic data, and determining whether to turn a semiconductor switch coupled to the downstream electric wire to an OFF state, based on the electric wire characteristic data written into the zone storage device and the current detected by a current sensor.
