INTEGRATED ELECTRIC CHARGING SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF OPERATING THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240051407 titled 'INTEGRATED ELECTRIC CHARGING SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF OPERATING THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes various embodiments of integrated electric charging systems and methods of operating them. In one example, the system includes an energy storage subsystem for storing direct current (DC) power and a charging subsystem. The charging subsystem is coupled to the energy storage subsystem and includes a common DC bus, one or more power converters, and at least one operational switch.
- The energy storage subsystem stores DC power.
- The charging subsystem includes a common DC bus.
- The power converters are coupled to the common DC bus and maintain a pre-defined DC voltage level.
- The operational switch varies the operational mode of the integrated charging system.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Electric vehicle charging systems: The integrated electric charging system can be used for charging electric vehicles, providing a convenient and efficient charging solution.
- Renewable energy systems: The system can be used to integrate renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, with energy storage and charging capabilities.
- Grid stabilization: The system can help stabilize the electrical grid by managing the flow of power between the energy storage subsystem and the grid.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient charging: The system ensures a stable and pre-defined voltage level on the common DC bus, allowing for efficient and reliable charging of devices.
- Integration of energy storage: The energy storage subsystem allows for the storage of excess power and its utilization during peak demand or when renewable energy sources are not available.
- Flexibility in operational modes: The operational switch allows for the variation of operational modes, providing flexibility in charging and energy management.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved charging efficiency: The system maintains a stable voltage level, optimizing the charging process and reducing energy losses.
- Integration of renewable energy: The system enables the integration of renewable energy sources, promoting sustainability and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
- Grid stability: By managing the flow of power, the system contributes to grid stability and reliability.
- Flexibility and adaptability: The operational switch allows for different operational modes, providing flexibility in charging and energy management strategies.
