Abstract
Disclosed is a power supply apparatus for supplying at least one device spaced apart from the power supply with electrical power, the power supply apparatus being connectable to a power grid, the power supply apparatus including at least one position-sensing apparatus for sensing a geometric position of the at least one device. The power supply apparatus can be directed at the at least one device in such a way that power can be wirelessly transmitted by the power supply apparatus to the device and/or the device can be supplied with electrical power by the power supply device.
Claims19
A method for wireless supply of at least one device by an energy supply apparatus, comprising the following steps:
- connecting the energy supply apparatus to a higher-level energy network or a higher-level energy supply apparatus;
- detecting the device to be supplied by the energy supply apparatus by at least one position detector unit;
- identifying the device to be supplied;
- orienting the energy supply apparatus or the energy beam relative to the device to be supplied;
- and
- wireless transmission of energy to the device to be supplied,
- wherein the at least one device and/or the energy supply apparatus has and/or produces a communicative connection to the energy supply apparatus and/or a local data unit or control unit and/or a central or internet-based data unit or control unit.
A method for wireless supply of at least one device by an energy supply apparatus, comprising the following steps:
- connecting the energy supply apparatus to a higher-level energy network or a higher-level energy supply apparatus;
- detecting the device to be supplied by the energy supply apparatus by at least one position detector unit;
- identifying the device to be supplied;
- orienting the energy supply apparatus or the energy beam relative to the device to be supplied;
- and
- wireless transmission of energy to the device to be supplied,
- wherein the energy supply apparatus is connected to an energy network and/or is supplied wirelessly with energy by another energy supply apparatus, and includes at least one position detector unit configured for detecting a geometric or spatial position of the at least one device and an orienting device for orientation of an energy beam of the energy supply apparatus, wherein the energy supply apparatus and/or the energy radiation is oriented with respect to the at least one device in such a way that energy is transmitted by the energy supply apparatus wirelessly to the device and/or the device is supplied with electrical energy by the energy supply apparatus, and wherein an energy transmitting unit is configured to adapt an energy beam, with regard to a characteristic, to the requirements of an energy receiver and/or the specifications of a local and/or decentralised and/or central and/or internet-based or cloud-based control or regulation, wherein this characteristic is selected from a group of characteristics selected from the group consisting of an energy density, a beam geometry, a type of radiation and a parameter relevant for the energy transmission.
A method for wireless supply of at least one device by an energy supply apparatus, comprising the following steps:
- connecting the energy supply apparatus to a higher-level energy network or a higher-level energy supply apparatus;
- detecting the device to be supplied by the energy supply apparatus by at least one position detector unit;
- identifying the device to be supplied;
- orienting the energy supply apparatus or the energy beam relative to the device to be supplied;
- and
- wireless transmission of energy to the device to be supplied,
- wherein the energy supply apparatus is assigned with a measuring unit configured for measuring a transmitted energy and/or an incoming energy at a device supplied and/or an energy consumption.
