SERVER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18078361 titled 'SERVER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a server that communicates with a vehicle and a charger to optimize the charging and discharging of the vehicle's battery based on its state information and time-dependent electricity rate information.
- The server determines the required state of charge (SoC) of the vehicle based on its current state information.
- The server controls the charger to maximize expected profit by charging and discharging the vehicle's battery while pursuing the required SoC.
- The server takes into account time-dependent electricity rate information to optimize the charging and discharging process.
- If a discharge priority condition is met, the server updates the time-dependent electricity rate information to further maximize the expected profit.
Original Abstract Submitted
A server according to an embodiment includes a communicator communicating with a vehicle and a charger and a controller determining a required state of charge (SoC) of the vehicle based on state information of the vehicle, controlling a charger to maximize an expected profit via charging and discharging a battery of the vehicle while pursuing the required SoC based on time-dependent electricity rate information. The controller controls, upon a discharge priority condition being satisfied, the charger to maximize the expected profit by updating the time-dependent electricity rate information.
