Abstract
This disclosure discloses various technologies for sending electrical power from various energy storage stations to various nano-grid systems, when the energy storage stations and the nano-grid systems are not electrically wired to each other in order to enable such sending and when the nano-grid systems currently need a specific amount of the electrical power or are forecasted to need the specific amount of the electrical power by a specific time/date.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a plurality of nano-grids, each nano-grid being air-gapped from any energy storage station for charging or discharging at least one stored energy vehicle (SEV), each SEV having a vehicle computing device and a vehicle storage device for storing an electrical energy payload, and including a nano-grid storage appliance configured to store electricity for the nano-grid discharged from the electrical energy payload of the SEV and a nano-grid computing device comprising a processor configured to execute software programming of a nano-grid controller;
- and
- a grid-control server in communication with a plurality of client computing devices including each nano-grid computing device and configured to execute software programming of a grid controller, wherein the grid controller, when executed by the grid-control server, is configured to:
- receive, from one or more data sources, energy data associated with the plurality of client computing devices in communication with the grid-control server;
- determine an energy requirement including an amount of energy for the nano-grid based upon the energy data received from the one or more data sources;
- generate an SEV schedule of one or more SEVs for the plurality of nano-grids indicating the amount of energy of the energy requirement of each particular nano-grid;
