ELECTRIC POWER SOURCE APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18340330 titled 'ELECTRIC POWER SOURCE APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electric power source apparatus that includes a drive control apparatus and an auxiliary control apparatus. These two apparatuses are designed to communicate with each other.

• The first control apparatus is able to continue communicating with the second control apparatus even when it is unable to do so normally.
• The first control apparatus can execute communication with the second control apparatus when it is in a state where normal communication is possible.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Electric vehicles: The apparatus can be used in electric vehicles to ensure continuous communication between the drive control and auxiliary control systems, even in situations where normal communication is disrupted.
• Renewable energy systems: The apparatus can be applied in renewable energy systems, such as solar or wind power, to maintain communication between different control components for efficient operation.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Communication reliability: The apparatus solves the problem of interrupted communication between control apparatuses by allowing them to continue communicating even when normal communication is not possible.
• System efficiency: By ensuring continuous communication, the apparatus improves the overall efficiency and performance of the electric power source system.

Benefits of this technology:

• Enhanced system reliability: The apparatus improves the reliability of the electric power source system by enabling continuous communication between control apparatuses.
• Improved system performance: By maintaining communication, the apparatus ensures optimal coordination and operation of different control components, leading to improved system performance and efficiency.

Original Abstract Submitted

An electric power source apparatus includes a drive control apparatus and an auxiliary control apparatus. The drive control apparatus and the auxiliary control apparatus are configured to communicate with each other. When one of the drive control apparatus and the auxiliary control apparatus is a first control apparatus and the other of the drive control apparatus and the auxiliary control apparatus is a second control apparatus, the first control apparatus is configured to continue a function to communicate with the second control apparatus even when the first control apparatus is not able to normally communicate with the second control apparatus, and configured to execute communication with the second control apparatus when the first control apparatus is put into a state where the first control apparatus is able to normally communicate with the second control apparatus.
