Power Management Apparatus, Power Management System, and Method for Providing Power Service - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18236712 titled 'Power Management Apparatus, Power Management System, and Method for Providing Power Service
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a power management apparatus that controls the exchange of electric power between a power bank and an electric vehicle based on the supply and demand of electric power.
- The communication unit acquires information about the supply and demand of electric power for the power bank.
- The processor sets a power exchange ratio based on the supply and demand of electric power.
- The processor determines the amount of electric power to be received by the electric vehicle from the power bank based on the amount of electric power supplied from the electric vehicle to the power bank and the power exchange ratio.
Potential Applications
- Electric vehicle charging stations
- Renewable energy integration systems
Problems Solved
- Efficient management of electric power supply and demand
- Optimal utilization of power storage devices
Benefits
- Improved energy efficiency
- Reduced electricity costs
- Enhanced control over power exchange ratios
Original Abstract Submitted
A power management apparatus includes a communication unit (acquisition unit) that acquires information about supply and demand of electric power for a power bank (power storage device), and a processor (controller) that controls electric power received by an electric vehicle from the power bank. The processor sets a power exchange ratio of electric power received from the power bank to electric power supplied to the power bank, depending on the supply and demand of electric power. The processor determines an amount of electric power to be received by the electric vehicle from the power bank, based on an amount of electric power supplied from the electric vehicle to the power bank, and the power exchange ratio.
