MANAGEMENT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18582698 titled 'MANAGEMENT APPARATUS
The patent application describes a management apparatus that monitors the use duration and degradation state of a battery on a movable body to determine whether to allow the supply of electric power to an electric power trade market based on predefined criteria.
- Use duration acquisition portion: Acquires the use duration of the battery.
- Index acquisition portion: Obtains an index indicating the degradation state of the battery.
- Allowable reference value acquisition portion: Acquires a reference value to determine if electric power supply should be allowed.
- Determination portion: Determines the priority for supplying electric power to the electric power trade market based on the use duration, index, and allowable reference value.
Potential Applications: - Energy management systems for electric vehicles. - Smart grid systems for optimizing battery usage. - Renewable energy systems for efficient power distribution.
Problems Solved: - Efficient management of battery usage. - Optimization of electric power supply to the market. - Monitoring and control of battery degradation.
Benefits: - Improved battery lifespan. - Enhanced energy efficiency. - Cost savings in electric power distribution.
Commercial Applications: "Smart Battery Management System for Electric Vehicles: Optimizing Energy Usage and Market Supply"
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the apparatus determine the priority for supplying electric power to the market? 2. What are the key factors considered in determining the allowable reference value for electric power supply?
Original Abstract Submitted
A management apparatus includes: a use duration acquisition portion that acquires a use duration of a battery provided on a movable body; an index acquisition portion that acquires an index indicating a degradation state of the battery; an allowable reference value acquisition portion that acquires an allowable reference value which becomes a criterion of whether or not to allow a supply of electric power from the battery to an electric power trade market and is determined in accordance with the use duration of the battery; and a determination portion that determines a priority for determining whether or not to supply electric power to the electric power trade market in accordance with the use duration of the battery, the index, and the allowable reference value.
