Claims14
A household appliance for use in a hybrid electrical power supply system comprising:
- a household appliance body and at least one drive motor of the household appliance connected to a processing and control board and further comprising at least one electrical power storage element, wherein the processing and control board is configured to manage the charging and discharging of the at least one electrical power storage element based on a consumption of the at least one drive motor, and
- wherein the processing and control board is connected to a local electrical power supply grid and is further configured to manage the charging and discharging of the at least one electrical power storage element based on the consumption of the local electrical power supply grid and to allow delivery of electrical power from the at least one electrical power storage towards the local electrical power supply grid, wherein the household appliance is a non-portable household appliance and the at least one electrical power storage element is a storage battery specific for hybrid electrical power supply systems and is located inside the household appliance body.
A hybrid electrical power supply system comprising a disconnection and protection switchboard connected at the input to an inverter for transforming direct current generated by a system generating electrical power from alternative power sources, into alternating current, and to an electrical power counter of the electrical power from a global electrical power grid, the inverter and the electrical power counter making available electrical power in a local electrical power supply grid,
- wherein at least one non-portable household appliance is connected to the local electrical power supply grid, the non-portable household appliance comprising a household appliance body housing at least one drive motor of the household appliance connected to a processing and control board and at least one electrical power storage element,
- wherein the processing and control board is configured to manage the charging and discharging of the at least one electrical power storage element based on the consumption of the at least one drive motor and on the consumption of the local electrical power supply grid,
- wherein the disconnection and protection switchboard is connected to a control and management apparatus configured to manage delivery of the power stored in the at least one electrical power storage element housed in the household appliance body to the local electrical power supply grid, and
- wherein the at least one electrical power storage element housed inside the household appliance body is a storage battery specific for hybrid electrical power supply systems.
