Optical wireless power grid system and method for communication, sensor, and IOT devices

A wireless optical power network for power distribution and charging of a plurality of devices, comprising:

• one or more power sources to generate electrical power;
• one or more master power stations coupled or connected to the one or more power sources, the one or more master power stations configured to receive the electrical power and to generate a plurality of power laser light beams based at least in part on the electrical power;
• one or more optical distribution devices, coupled or connected to the one or more master power stations, the one or more optical distribution devices to receive and transmit the plurality of power laser light beams, wherein one of the more or more optical distribution devices includes an optical splitter and the optical splitter is configured to divide the plurality of power laser light beams of the plurality of power laser light beams and create first split power laser light beams and second split power laser light beams;
• one or more sink power substations optically coupled to the one or more optical distribution devices, a first sink power substation of the one or more sink power substations configured to receive the first split power laser light beams and a second sink power substation of the one or more sink power substations to receive the second split power laser light beams via the optical splitter, the first sink power substation configured to convert the first split power laser light beams to first substation electrical power and to transfer the first substation electrical power and the second sink power substation configured to convert the second split power laser light beams to second substation electrical power;
• a plurality of end user devices to receive the first substation electrical power or the second substation electrical power in order to charge the plurality of end user devices;
• and
• a local network computing device, the local network computing device including one or more processors or controllers, one or more memory devices, and computer-readable instructions stored on the one or more memory devices, the computer-readable instructions executable by the one or more processors or controllers to receive commands or signals identifying operational parameters or status parameters of the one or more master power stations, the one or more optical distribution devices, the one or more sink power substations or the plurality of end user devices,
• the local network computing device further including a local network interface, a web server interface and one or more data storage devices, the computer-readable instructions executable by the one or more processors or controllers to control operations of the local network computing device, and
• the one or more data storage devices to include an optical power grid topology database, optical power grid management computer-readable instructions and a machine learning module, the optical power grid topology database including device information, parameters, operating conditions, location, and/or performance statistics for the power sources, the master power stations, the optical distribution devices, and/or the sink power substations under control or in an area of the local network computing device.
