ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, ELECTRIC POWER CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18513947 titled 'ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, ELECTRIC POWER CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an electric power system with an electrical storage device that can transition to an autonomous mode based on the charge remaining amount of the device in case of communication failure or disconnection from the upper control system.
- The electric power system includes an electrical storage device and a controller.
- The controller can switch to an autonomous mode based on the charge remaining amount of the electrical storage device.
- This transition occurs when communication with the upper control system fails or when the device is disconnected from the electric power system.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Transition to autonomous mode based on charge remaining amount.
- Controller can sense communication failure or disconnection.
- Enables independent operation of the electrical storage device.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various electric power systems, renewable energy systems, and smart grid applications.
Problems Solved:
- Ensures continuous operation in case of communication failure.
- Improves reliability and autonomy of the electrical storage device.
- Enhances overall system resilience.
Benefits:
- Increased system reliability.
- Enhanced autonomy and self-sufficiency.
- Improved energy management and efficiency.
Commercial Applications: This technology could be utilized in renewable energy systems, microgrids, and energy storage solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Questions about Electric Power System: 1. How does the controller determine when to switch to autonomous mode? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology on the energy storage industry?
Original Abstract Submitted
According to one embodiment, an electric power system includes an electrical storage device electrically connected to an electric power system; and a controller configured to control the electrical storage device based on an electric power command from an upper control system configured to control input-output electric power of the electrical storage device, and make a transition to an autonomous mode in which the input-output electric power of the electrical storage device is controlled based on a charge remaining amount of the electrical storage device, in at least one of a case where the controller senses that communication with the upper control system fails or a case where the controller senses that the electrical storage device and the electric power system is disconnected.
