Apparatus and Method for Controlling Bidirectional On Board Charger of Electric Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17672985 titled 'Apparatus and Method for Controlling Bidirectional On Board Charger of Electric Vehicle
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an embodiment apparatus for an electric vehicle that includes an indoor power outlet, a sensor, and a controller.
- The indoor power outlet is designed to receive power through various lines, except for a single-phase AC charging line among three-phase AC input lines.
- The sensor is responsible for measuring the required current of an electronic device that is connected to the indoor power outlet.
- The controller is responsible for controlling a bidirectional on board charger of the electric vehicle based on the required current measured by the sensor.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various electric vehicle charging scenarios, particularly in indoor settings where multiple power lines are available.
Problems Solved
- Enables the charging of electric vehicles using an indoor power outlet.
- Provides a solution for controlling the bidirectional on board charger based on the required current of the connected electronic device.
Benefits
- Allows for more flexible charging options for electric vehicles.
- Optimizes the charging process by controlling the bidirectional on board charger based on the required current, ensuring efficient and safe charging.
Original Abstract Submitted
An embodiment apparatus for an electric vehicle includes an indoor power outlet configured to receive power through one of a plurality of lines except for a single-phase alternating current (AC) charging line among three-phase AC input lines, a sensor configured to measure a required current of an electronic device connected to the indoor power outlet, and a controller configured to control a bidirectional on board charger of the electric vehicle based on the required current.
