CHARGING CONTROL DEVICE AND CHARGING CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240198837 titled 'CHARGING CONTROL DEVICE AND CHARGING CONTROL METHOD
The server (charging control device) includes a communication unit (charging information acquisition unit) that acquires information on charging of a battery (secondary battery), and a processor (charging control unit) that controls charging of the battery. When VPP charge/discharge mode (first charging mode) in which charging is performed based on a predetermined operation plan is set, the processor executes a VPP charging process (first charging process) in which charging is performed in a range in which SOC of the battery is less than a predetermined charging threshold. When the normal charging/discharging mode (second charging mode) in which the charging plan is determined by the user of electrified vehicle is set, the processor executes a normal charging/discharging process (second charging process) in which SOC performs charging up to a value equal to or larger than a predetermined charging threshold value.
- Communication unit acquires information on battery charging.
- Processor controls the charging process based on different modes.
- VPP charge/discharge mode allows charging based on a predetermined plan.
- Normal charging/discharging mode allows user-defined charging plan.
- Charging is controlled based on SOC and predetermined thresholds.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicle charging systems - Battery management systems - Energy storage systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient battery charging control - User-friendly charging options - Optimal battery performance
Benefits: - Improved battery life - Customized charging options - Energy efficiency
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Battery Charging Control System for Electric Vehicles This technology can be used in electric vehicle charging stations, battery manufacturing companies, and renewable energy storage facilities. It can optimize charging processes, extend battery life, and improve overall energy efficiency in various commercial applications.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the VPP charge/discharge mode differ from the normal charging/discharging mode? 2. What are the key benefits of using this advanced battery charging control system?
