SERVER, SYSTEM, AND MANAGEMENT METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240116477 titled 'SERVER, SYSTEM, AND MANAGEMENT METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a server system that receives information about requests for adjustment of power supply-and-demand in a power grid. The system includes a processor that predicts a schedule for replacing batteries at a battery station and determines which battery is available for charging or discharging to respond to the adjustment requests.

  • The server system includes a communication unit for receiving information about power supply-and-demand adjustments.
  • A processor within the server predicts battery replacement schedules and determines available batteries for charging or discharging.
  • The system assesses whether it can respond to adjustment requests based on the specified battery.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in smart grid systems, energy management systems, and renewable energy integration.

Problems Solved

This technology helps optimize power supply-and-demand adjustments in a power grid, ensuring efficient use of available batteries.

Benefits

The system improves the reliability and stability of power grids, enhances energy efficiency, and supports the integration of renewable energy sources.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications include energy management software, smart grid solutions, and battery management systems.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include existing battery management systems, energy management software, and smart grid technologies.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system prioritize battery usage for different adjustment requests?

The patent application does not provide details on how the system prioritizes between multiple adjustment requests.

What is the impact of battery degradation on the system's performance over time?

The patent application does not address the potential impact of battery degradation on the system's long-term performance.


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.
