BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND BATTERY MANAGEMENT METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18480445 titled 'BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND BATTERY MANAGEMENT METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a battery management system that adjusts the usage fee for external power supply based on the predetermined contract power. The system estimates the power in use in the storage plant in the future and creates a discharge plan to supply power from the battery when needed.
- Contract power information acquisition section: Acquires information indicating the contract power.
- Power-in-use estimation section: Estimates power in use in the storage plant in a future time zone.
- Discharge plan creation section: Creates a plan to discharge the battery when power in use exceeds contract power.
- Discharging control section: Controls the discharge of the battery based on the created plan.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in energy storage systems, renewable energy integration, and smart grid management.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient utilization of battery power in storage plants. 2. Cost-effective management of external power supply.
Benefits
1. Optimized power usage in storage plants. 2. Cost savings through intelligent discharge planning.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Smart Battery Management System for Energy Storage Plants"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to battery management systems in energy storage applications, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle variations in power demand throughout the day?
The system may have algorithms to dynamically adjust the discharge plan based on real-time power demand.
What safety measures are in place to prevent over-discharging of the battery?
The system likely includes safeguards to monitor battery health and prevent damage from excessive discharging.
Original Abstract Submitted
A higher usage fee is set for external supply power as predetermined contract power increases. A battery management system includes: a contract power information acquisition section configured to acquire contract power information indicating the contract power; a power-in-use estimation section configured to estimate power in use in the storage plant in a target time zone in future; a discharge plan creation section configured to create a discharge plan in which discharge power from the battery is supplied as power to be used in the storage plant when the power in use in the target time zone exceeds the contract power; and a discharging control section configured to discharge the battery on the basis of the discharge plan. The power in use in the target time zone is estimated by the power-in-use estimation section.
