METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTING BALANCING POWER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18467391 titled 'METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTING BALANCING POWER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for distributing balancing power among electrified vehicle groups and other resources in a demand response scenario.
- Preferentially assign control power from electrified vehicle groups to required balancing power
- Assign remaining balancing power to other resources after assigning integral multiples of control power to electrified vehicle groups
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in smart grid systems, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and demand response programs.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient distribution of balancing power in demand response scenarios 2. Optimizing the use of electrified vehicle groups as a resource for balancing power
Benefits
1. Improved grid stability and reliability 2. Increased utilization of electrified vehicles for grid services 3. Cost-effective management of balancing power resources
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing energy management systems, grid operators, electric vehicle manufacturers, and demand response service providers could benefit from implementing this technology.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to demand response systems, grid management software, and electric vehicle integration in smart grid networks.
Unanswered Questions
How does this method impact the overall efficiency of the grid system?
This method could potentially improve grid efficiency by utilizing electrified vehicles as a distributed resource for balancing power, reducing the reliance on traditional power plants for grid stability.
What are the potential challenges in implementing this method on a large scale?
Challenges in implementing this method on a large scale could include interoperability issues between different grid systems, regulatory hurdles, and the need for standardized communication protocols among electrified vehicles and grid operators.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for distributing balancing power, the method comprising, preferentially assigning, when a demand response is performed using a plurality of electrified vehicle groups including one or more electrified vehicles each of which includes a communication unit and a balancing resource that is able to supply power to an outside, an integral multiple of control power of each of the electrified vehicle groups to required balancing power required for each of the electrified vehicle groups in target balancing power within a limit of balancing power that each of the electrified vehicle groups is able to supply, and assigning remaining balancing power of the target balancing power to required balancing power required for another resource other than the electrified vehicles, after assigning integral multiple of control power of each of the electrified vehicle groups to required balancing power required for each of the electrified vehicle groups in the target balancing power.
