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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240160263 titled 'METHOD OF MANAGING ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY AND DEMAND, AND SERVER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method of managing electric power supply and demand using a computer to request participation from an electrified vehicle with a driver and passenger. The computer acquires passenger information and sets incentives for the passenger to participate in adjusting power supply or demand in the grid.

  • The method involves sending a message from a computer to an electrified vehicle with a driver and passenger to participate in demand response.
  • The computer acquires passenger information such as attributes and preferences to tailor incentives for participation.
  • Incentives are set by the computer based on the acquired passenger information to prompt participation in demand response.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in smart grid systems to efficiently manage electric power supply and demand by incentivizing participation from electrified vehicles.

Problems Solved

1. Balancing electric power supply and demand in a power grid. 2. Encouraging participation in demand response programs from electrified vehicles.

Benefits

1. Improved grid stability and reliability. 2. Increased participation in demand response programs. 3. Enhanced utilization of renewable energy sources.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing energy management systems in smart grids for utilities and energy companies.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of demand response programs in the energy industry to manage peak loads and grid stability.

What are the technical specifications of the computer system used in this method?

The abstract does not provide specific details about the technical specifications of the computer system used in this method. It would be helpful to know the processing power, memory capacity, and communication protocols utilized by the computer for implementing the described process.

How does the method ensure data privacy and security of the acquired passenger information?

The abstract does not mention any specific measures taken to ensure data privacy and security of the acquired passenger information. It would be important to address how the system protects sensitive passenger data from unauthorized access or misuse.


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.
