SERVER, SYSTEM, AND MANAGEMENT METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18480617 titled 'SERVER, SYSTEM, AND MANAGEMENT METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a server that receives information about a request for adjustment of power supply-and-demand in a power grid and predicts a schedule of replacement of a battery at a battery station. The server then determines if it is possible to respond to the request for adjustment based on the availability of a specified battery for charging or discharging.
- The server includes a communication unit that receives information about a request for adjustment of power supply-and-demand in a power grid.
- The server includes a processor that predicts a schedule of replacement of a battery at a battery station.
- The processor specifies a battery available for charging or discharging for the request for adjustment based on the schedule.
- The processor determines if it is possible to respond to the request for adjustment based on the specified battery.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in smart grid systems to optimize power supply-and-demand adjustments.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in efficiently managing power supply-and-demand adjustments in a power grid.
Benefits
The technology helps in predicting battery replacement schedules and optimizing responses to requests for power supply-and-demand adjustments.
Potential Commercial Applications
One potential commercial application could be in energy management systems for utilities.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to battery management systems in power grids.
Unanswered Questions
How does the server communicate with the battery station to schedule replacements?
The patent application does not provide details on the communication protocol or method used for scheduling battery replacements.
What specific algorithms or models are used by the processor to predict battery replacement schedules?
The patent application does not specify the exact algorithms or models used for predicting battery replacement schedules.
Original Abstract Submitted
A server includes a communication unit (first communication unit) (second communication unit) that receives information about a request for adjustment of power supply-and-demand in a power grid. The server includes a processor (controller) that predicts a schedule of replacement of a battery (first battery) at a battery station (battery replacement apparatus). The processor specifies, based on the schedule, a battery (second battery) available for charging or discharging for the request for adjustment, and determines, based on the specified battery, whether or not it is possible to respond to the request for adjustment.
