SERVER, AND METHOD OF ADJUSTING ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY AND DEMAND - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18482618 titled 'SERVER, AND METHOD OF ADJUSTING ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY AND DEMAND

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a server system that proposes charging or discharging a vehicle using chargers based on power supply and demand information in the region.

  • Server system with storage for charger data and a processor for sending charging proposals to vehicle users.
  • Processor acquires power supply and demand information for each charger in a power grid region.
  • Processor selects a charger in a region with higher power demand or supply based on the acquired information.
  • Proposal messages are sent to users to charge or discharge the vehicle using the selected charger.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, smart grid systems, and energy management solutions.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient utilization of charging infrastructure based on regional power supply and demand. 2. Optimization of electric vehicle charging and discharging processes.

Benefits

1. Reduced energy costs for vehicle users. 2. Improved grid stability and management. 3. Enhanced user experience with optimized charging solutions.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Smart Electric Vehicle Charging System for Grid Optimization"

Possible Prior Art

There are existing smart charging systems for electric vehicles that optimize charging based on grid conditions, but the specific approach of selecting chargers based on regional power supply and demand may be a novel aspect of this technology.

=== What are the technical specifications of the server system described in the patent application? The technical specifications of the server system, such as the storage capacity, processing speed, and communication protocols used, are not detailed in the abstract.

=== How does the server system communicate with the vehicle to send charging proposals? The abstract does not specify the communication method between the server system and the vehicle for sending charging proposals.


Original Abstract Submitted

A server includes a storage storing data on chargers each configured to charge or discharge electric power to or from a vehicle with an electrical storage device, and a processor configured to send a user of the vehicle a message that makes a proposal to charge or discharge the vehicle by using at least one of the chargers when the vehicle travels toward a destination. The processor is configured to acquire, for each of the chargers, power supply and demand information on power demand or supply in a power grid of a region in which the charger is installed, extract a charger installed in a region with larger power demand or supply than another region from among the chargers based on predetermined information including the power supply and demand information, and send the message that makes a proposal to charge or discharge the vehicle by using the extracted charger.
