SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240326657 titled 'SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
The abstract describes a system for controlling a power source on a vehicle, which includes a fuel cell and a battery. The system involves a decision unit that determines a control parameter for the power generation amount of the fuel cell based on whether the vehicle primarily travels on a highway or an ordinary road.
- The system integrates a decision unit to adjust power generation based on the type of road the vehicle is traveling on.
- This innovation aims to optimize power usage and efficiency based on the driving conditions.
- By tailoring power generation to the road type, the system can enhance overall vehicle performance and fuel efficiency.
- The control method ensures that the power source, comprising a fuel cell and a battery, operates optimally for different driving scenarios.
- This technology can potentially lead to improved energy management in vehicles, reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Hybrid vehicles - Autonomous vehicles
Problems Solved: - Inefficient power management in vehicles - Lack of optimization for different driving conditions - Limited control over power generation in traditional systems
Benefits: - Enhanced fuel efficiency - Improved performance - Reduced emissions
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Power Management System for Vehicles" This technology could be utilized by automotive manufacturers to enhance the efficiency and performance of their vehicles, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers and meeting stricter emissions regulations.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the decision unit determine the control parameter for power generation? The decision unit analyzes data such as road type and driving conditions to adjust the power generation amount of the fuel cell accordingly.
2. What are the potential long-term benefits of implementing this system in vehicles? Implementing this system can lead to reduced fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improved overall vehicle performance over time.
