BATTERY CONSUMPTION SIMULATION OF A MACHINE BASED ON FUEL BURN DATA OF THE MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17804029 titled 'BATTERY CONSUMPTION SIMULATION OF A MACHINE BASED ON FUEL BURN DATA OF THE MACHINE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a controller that determines the battery consumption configuration of a machine based on machine information and fuel burn data. It then simulates the battery consumption and charge level to determine if it meets a threshold. If the charge level is below the threshold, the controller reduces the engine power.
- Controller determines battery consumption configuration of a machine based on machine information and fuel burn data.
- Simulates battery consumption and charge level based on the determined configuration.
- Determines if the simulated charge level meets a threshold.
- If the charge level is below the threshold, the controller reduces the engine power.
Original Abstract Submitted
A controller may determine a battery consumption configuration of the machine based on information regarding the machine, and obtain fuel burn data indicating an amount of fuel burned by the machine. The controller may determine a simulated battery consumption of the machine based on the battery consumption configuration and the fuel burn data. The controller may determine a simulated battery charge level based on the simulated battery consumption. The controller may determine whether the simulated battery charge level satisfies a charge level threshold. The controller may derate an engine of the machine based on determining that the simulated battery charge level does not satisfy the charge level threshold.
