CONTROL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240317102 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS
The control apparatus described in the patent application can accurately predict charging and discharging trends for a power storage system in a vehicle, regardless of whether usage information for the vehicle is available.
- The apparatus includes an obtainment unit that gathers usage history data from a mobile terminal associated with the power storage system for each vehicle.
- A selection unit then uses this usage history to estimate charging and discharging trends between the power storage system and an electric power network.
- Based on these estimates, the selection unit chooses which power storage system should be charged or discharged from the electric power network.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicle charging infrastructure - Energy management systems for vehicles - Smart grid technology
Problems Solved: - Efficient utilization of power storage systems in vehicles - Optimizing charging and discharging processes - Reducing energy waste in electric vehicle systems
Benefits: - Improved energy efficiency - Enhanced battery life for vehicles - Cost savings on electricity usage
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Energy Management System for Vehicles" This technology could be utilized by electric vehicle manufacturers, energy companies, and smart grid operators to optimize energy usage and storage in vehicles, leading to more sustainable transportation solutions.
Prior Art: Further research can be conducted in the field of smart grid technology, electric vehicle charging systems, and energy management solutions for vehicles to explore prior art related to this technology.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in electric vehicle technology, smart grid systems, and energy management solutions to understand the latest trends and developments in this field.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this control apparatus improve the efficiency of power storage systems in vehicles? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology on the electric vehicle industry?
Original Abstract Submitted
provided is a control apparatus that can accurately predict charging and discharging trends for a power storage system for a vehicle, irrespective of the presence or absence of usage information for the vehicle. a control apparatus is provided with: an obtainment unit that, for each of a plurality of power storage systems respectively mounted to a plurality of vehicles, obtains a usage history of a mobile terminal which corresponds to an external power storage apparatus associated with the power storage system; and a selection unit that estimates trends for charging and discharging between each power storage system and an electric power network based on the usage history and, in accordance with an estimation result, selects from the plurality of power storage systems a power storage system to be subject to charging or discharging from or to the electric power network.
