CONTROL SYSTEM FOR BATTERY HEALTH ASSESSMENT,CHARGING, AND FAULT MITIGATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17884030 titled 'CONTROL SYSTEM FOR BATTERY HEALTH ASSESSMENT,CHARGING, AND FAULT MITIGATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a low voltage system for a vehicle, including a battery, a generator or an accessory power module (APM), one or more low voltage loads, and a smart energy center. The smart energy center includes electronic fuses, sensors, and a controller to manage the connection of the system components based on sensor data.

  • The system includes a smart energy center with electronic fuses for selective connection to the battery, generator/APM, and low voltage loads.
  • The smart energy center is equipped with sensors and a controller to activate and deactivate the electronic fuses based on sensor data.
  • The system is designed to efficiently manage the power distribution in the vehicle's low voltage system.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Automotive industry for vehicles with advanced power management systems.
  • Electric vehicles to optimize power distribution and improve efficiency.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient power management in low voltage systems of vehicles.
  • Preventing overload or short circuits in the system components.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved reliability and safety in the vehicle's electrical system.
  • Enhanced efficiency in power distribution for better performance.
  • Potential for cost savings in maintenance and repairs.


Original Abstract Submitted

A low voltage system of a vehicle having a battery, one of a generator and an accessory power module (APM), one or more low voltage load, and a smart energy center. The smart energy center having a first electronic fuse configured to selectively connect the smart energy center to the battery, a second electronic fuse configured to selectively connect the smart energy center to the one of the generator and the APM, and a third electronic fuse configured to selectively connect the smart energy center to the one or more low voltage load. The smart energy center further comprising a plurality of sensors and a controller configured to selectively activate and deactivate the first electronic fuse, the second electronic fuse, and the third electronic fuse based at least in part on data received from the plurality of sensors.
