POWER MANAGEMENT FOR BATTERY GROUP - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18148578 titled 'POWER MANAGEMENT FOR BATTERY GROUP
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system with a power load, a battery group, and control circuitry. The control circuitry monitors the battery packs' voltage levels, determines their discharge capabilities, and reduces the power load if it exceeds the battery packs' capabilities.
Key Features and Innovation:
- System with power load, battery group, and control circuitry
- Monitoring of battery packs' voltage levels during discharge
- Determination of discharge capabilities of battery packs
- Reduction of power load if it exceeds battery packs' capabilities
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in various systems where managing power loads and battery discharge capabilities is crucial, such as electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and backup power systems.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the problem of ensuring that the power load of a system does not exceed the discharge capabilities of the battery packs, which can lead to damage or inefficiency.
Benefits:
- Improved battery pack management
- Prevention of damage due to excessive power loads
- Enhanced efficiency of the system
Commercial Applications: This technology could be valuable in industries such as electric vehicles, renewable energy, and telecommunications, where efficient battery management is essential for optimal performance.
Questions about Battery Management System: 1. How does the control circuitry determine the discharge capabilities of the battery packs? 2. What are the potential consequences of exceeding the battery packs' discharge capabilities in a system?
Original Abstract Submitted
In an embodiment, a system may include at least one system component associated with a power load, a battery group, and control circuitry. The battery group may include multiple battery packs connected in a series connection. The control circuitry may: monitor a voltage level of each battery pack in the battery group during a discharge to the power load of the at least one system component; determine discharge capabilities for the battery packs in the battery group; and in response to a determination that the power load of the at least one system component exceeds a lowest discharge capability of the plurality of battery packs in the battery group, reduce the power load of the at least one system component below the lowest discharge capability of the plurality of battery packs in the battery group.
