The patent application (Publication Number: US20240039296A1) describes a portable energy system that includes multiple microinverters and an AC input and output designed to connect to another portable energy system or an energy management system component. The system also features an expansion port for connecting to additional systems or components. When connected to another portable energy system, the microinverters are synchronized to combine their output currents, allowing for efficient power generation and sharing between systems. Additionally, the system can be used to charge each other, provide power to connected loads, or charge batteries within the energy management system.

Furthermore, the patent application details an energy management system that incorporates the portable energy system described earlier. This energy management system includes various components such as AC battery systems, power converters, DC power sources, microinverters, grids, and loads. The portable energy system within the energy management system can connect to other systems or components, synchronize output currents, facilitate charging between systems, provide power to loads, and communicate over wired or wireless interfaces. The system also includes sensors for measuring voltage and current from associated components and a relay for connecting or disconnecting the portable energy system from the energy management system. Overall, the patent application outlines a versatile and efficient portable energy system and its integration within an energy management system for enhanced power generation and distribution capabilities.
