Abstract
Energy storage systems for charging an electronic device and methods of operating the same are disclosed. The energy storage system includes an AC bus, a DC bus, a plurality of batteries, a plurality of breakers, a plurality of inverters, and a controller operatively coupled with the batteries and the breakers. The method includes calculating, by the controller, an amount of power necessary to charge the electronic device; operating, by the controller, the breakers such that the batteries of a discharging station is configured to discharge through a charging station; and charging the electronic device using the batteries.
Claims20
A method for charging an electronic device using an energy storage system comprising a controller, the method comprising:
- calculating, by the controller, an amount of power necessary to charge the electronic device;
- operating, by the controller, a plurality of breakers in a discharging station of the energy storage system and a plurality of breakers in a charging station of the energy storage system, causing a first set of batteries in the discharging station to discharge through the charging station and bypassing a second set of batteries in the charging station;
- and
- charging the electronic device using the first set of batteries in the discharging station.
An energy storage system for charging an electronic device, the energy storage system comprising:
- a discharging station comprising a first set of batteries, a plurality of breakers, and a first set of inverters,
- a charging station comprising a second set of batteries, a plurality of breakers, and a second set of inverters, and
- a controller operatively coupled with the first and second set of batteries and the plurality of breakers,
- the controller configured to calculate an amount of power necessary to charge the electronic device, operate the plurality of breakers, causingthe first set of batteries in the discharging station to discharge through the charging station and bypassing the second set of batteries in the charging station, and charge the electronic device using the first set of batteries.
A controller of an energy storage system for charging an electronic device, the controller configured to:
- calculate an amount of power necessary to charge the electronic device,
- operate a plurality of breakers in a discharging station of the energy storage system and a plurality of breakers in a charging station of the energy storage system, causing a first set of batteries in the discharging station to discharge through the charging station and bypassing a second set of batteries in the charging station, and
- charge the electronic device using the first set of batteries in the discharging station.
