SERVER AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18333146 titled 'SERVER AND SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes a server that is able to determine the level of congestion at an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) unit by analyzing the responses of multiple electrified vehicles to a request for electric power control. When congestion is detected at the EVSE unit, the server sets an incentive for each vehicle to perform the electric power control at another EVSE unit.
- The determination unit of the server analyzes the responses of multiple electrified vehicles to determine the level of congestion at an EVSE unit.
- The setting unit of the server sets an incentive for each vehicle to perform the electric power control at another EVSE unit when congestion is detected at the current EVSE unit.
Potential Applications:
- Electric vehicle charging infrastructure management systems.
- Smart grid systems for optimizing electric power distribution.
Problems Solved:
- Congestion management at EVSE units.
- Efficient utilization of available charging infrastructure.
- Balancing electric power demand and supply in a distributed manner.
Benefits:
- Reduces congestion at EVSE units, ensuring efficient charging for all vehicles.
- Optimizes the utilization of charging infrastructure, reducing waiting times for charging.
- Enables better management of electric power distribution, leading to a more stable and reliable grid.
Original Abstract Submitted
A server includes a determination unit that determines a state of congestion at an EVSE unit by a plurality of electrified vehicles responding to a request for execution of electric power control, and a setting unit that sets an incentive for each of the electrified vehicles to perform the electric power control at another EVSE unit when the determination unit determines that congestion is occurring at the EVSE unit.
