Energy management method for local energy systems using devices
The patent US12071035B2 outlines a method and system for managing energy surplus or deficit within a local energy system. The method involves assessing the energy status of the system, which includes identifying excess energy available for transfer and the time frame for its availability, or determining the energy needs of the system along with the corresponding time period. Additionally, the method evaluates the status of multiple moveable devices equipped with accumulators, focusing on their current and desired states of charge. Each device is scored based on its accumulator status in relation to the energy status of the local system, which includes estimating the energy costs associated with moving the device to the energy source. The method culminates in selecting a moveable device to receive control or navigational information pertinent to the local energy system.
The patent further specifies that the local energy system can include various energy sources such as solar panels, wind turbines, or thermal generators, and may also consist of other moveable devices. The method allows for the identification of moveable devices within a specific geographical area and includes provisions for sending control information to the selected device. The system is designed to optimize energy management by ensuring that the most suitable moveable device is chosen based on its energy status and operational requirements, thereby enhancing the efficiency of energy distribution and usage within the local energy system.
