METHOD OF MANAGING ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY AND DEMAND, AND SERVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18369954 titled 'METHOD OF MANAGING ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY AND DEMAND, AND SERVER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method of managing electric power supply and demand with a computer, specifically targeting electrified vehicles with drivers and passengers to participate in demand response for adjusting power grid supply or demand.
- The computer sends a message to request an electrified vehicle with a driver and passenger to participate in demand response.
- The computer acquires passenger information on attributes or preferences.
- The computer sets incentives for passengers to participate in demand response based on the acquired information.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in smart grid systems, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and demand response programs.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in balancing electric power supply and demand, optimizing grid operations, and incentivizing passenger participation in demand response.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved grid stability, increased efficiency in power management, and enhanced passenger engagement in demand response activities.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology could be in energy management systems, electric vehicle charging networks, and demand response service providers.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be related to demand response systems in the energy industry, smart grid technologies, and electric vehicle integration in power grids.
Unanswered Questions
How does the computer determine the appropriate incentives for passengers based on their information?
The patent application does not provide specific details on the algorithm or methodology used to set incentives for passengers. Further information on the incentive calculation process would be helpful.
What types of passenger information are considered in setting the incentives for demand response participation?
The patent application mentions acquiring passenger information on attributes or preferences, but it does not specify the exact data points or factors taken into account. More clarity on the types of passenger information used for setting incentives would be beneficial.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of managing electric power supply and demand with a computer includes sending, from the computer, a message for making a request of an electrified vehicle with a driver and a passenger to participate in a demand response for adjusting supply or demand of electric power in a power grid, acquiring, by the computer, passenger information on at least one of an attribute and a preference of the passenger, and setting, by the computer, a first incentive for prompting the passenger to participate in the demand response based on the passenger information.
