CHARGER CONTROL APPARATUS, CHARGER CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18128712 Titled 'CHARGER CONTROL APPARATUS, CHARGER CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a charger control apparatus that is used to control multiple chargers connected in parallel and supplied with current from a common wiring line. The apparatus includes a total current acquisition unit and a setting unit. The total current acquisition unit measures the total current flowing through all the chargers, while the setting unit sets an upper limit value for the current flowing through each charger. This upper limit value is based on a first upper limit value that is set for the wiring line.
If the difference between the total current and the first upper limit value meets a certain reference, the setting unit updates the upper limit value for each charger. This update is done by distributing the difference according to a first rule.
In simpler terms, the charger control apparatus monitors the total current flowing through multiple chargers and adjusts the upper limit for each charger based on the total current and a reference value.
Original Abstract Submitted
A charger control apparatus includes a total current acquisition unit and a setting unit to control a plurality of chargers connected in parallel with each other and supplied with a current from a common wiring line. An upper limit value of a current flowing through the wiring line is described as a first upper limit value. The total current acquisition unit acquires a total value of a current flowing through the plurality of chargers. The setting unit sets, for each of the plurality of chargers, a second upper limit value being an upper limit value of a current flowing through the charger by using the first upper limit value. When a difference between the total value and the first upper limit value satisfies a reference, the setting unit updates the second upper limit value for each of the plurality of chargers by distributing the difference according to a first rule.
