Server And Control Method Thereof - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18231481 titled 'Server And Control Method Thereof
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a server system that controls a charger based on the state of charge of a vehicle and adjusts electricity charging costs to maximize profit.
- The server includes a transceiver to communicate with a charger and a controller to determine the required state of charge of a vehicle.
- The controller controls the charger to increase expected profit by managing charging and discharging to reach the required state of charge.
- Electricity charging costs are adjusted over periods to ensure that the cost at the start of each period is lower than a constant cost over the period, gradually increasing over time.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in electric vehicle charging stations, fleet management systems, and smart grid infrastructure.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the challenge of optimizing charging processes for electric vehicles to maximize profit and efficiency.
Benefits
The system helps reduce electricity costs, improve charging efficiency, and increase overall profitability for charging station operators.
Potential Commercial Applications
Commercial applications include electric vehicle charging networks, energy management systems, and smart city initiatives.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing smart charging solutions for electric vehicles that optimize charging based on grid demand and vehicle state of charge.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle unexpected changes in vehicle state of charge?
The patent application does not provide details on how the system adapts to sudden changes in the state of charge of a vehicle.
What security measures are in place to protect the system from cyber threats?
The patent application does not mention specific security measures implemented to safeguard the server system from potential cyber attacks.
Original Abstract Submitted
A server may include a transceiver configured to communicate with a charger, and a controller configured to determine, based on state information of a vehicle, a required state of charge (SoC), control, based on charging and discharging from an SoC of the vehicle to the required SoC and electricity charging costs over periods, the charger to increase (e.g., maximize) an expected profit, and while controlling the charger, adjust the electricity charging costs over the periods so that a first electricity charging cost at a start time of a first period of the periods is lower than a constant electricity charging cost over the first period, and the first electricity charging cost is gradually (e.g., linearly) increased over the first period.
