DIRECT CURRENT FAST CHARGER CONTROL METHOD FOR VEHICLE WITH MULTI-PORT CHARGING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17986246 titled 'DIRECT CURRENT FAST CHARGER CONTROL METHOD FOR VEHICLE WITH MULTI-PORT CHARGING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system and method for charging an electric vehicle by selecting the appropriate battery subpack for charging based on the state of charge of each subpack.
- The system includes a first battery subpack, a second battery subpack, and a processor.
- The processor determines the selected battery subpack for charging by comparing the state of charge of each subpack.
- The selected battery subpack is then connected to the corresponding charge port for charging.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in electric vehicles, electric vehicle charging stations, and smart grid systems.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient charging of electric vehicles by selecting the optimal battery subpack for charging. 2. Preventing overcharging or undercharging of battery subpacks, which can lead to reduced battery life and performance.
Benefits
1. Prolongs battery life and improves overall performance of electric vehicles. 2. Optimizes charging process for increased efficiency and energy savings.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimized Battery Subpack Charging System for Electric Vehicles" can be used in electric vehicle manufacturing companies, electric vehicle charging infrastructure providers, and smart grid technology companies.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of battery management systems in electric vehicles to monitor and control the charging process of individual battery cells or subpacks.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system prioritize between the first and second battery subpack for charging?
The abstract does not provide details on the criteria used by the processor to select the battery subpack for charging.
What is the impact of this technology on the overall charging time of electric vehicles?
The abstract does not mention how the system affects the charging time of electric vehicles compared to traditional charging methods.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electric vehicle, system and method of charging the electric vehicle. In another exemplary embodiment, a system for charging an electric vehicle is disclosed. The system includes a first battery subpack, a second battery subpack, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine a selected battery subpack from the first battery subpack and the second battery subpack for charging based on a comparison of a first state of charge of the first battery subpack a second state of charge of the second battery subpack and connect the selected battery subpack to a corresponding one of a first charge port and a second charge port.
