Abstract
Example energy management systems and methods are described. In one implementation, multiple solar cells are configured to deliver energy in response to received sunlight. A stationary battery is configured to store energy generated by the multiple solar cells. An energy controller is configured to dynamically determine a charging rate of the stationary battery and a charging rate of an electric vehicle based on a state-of-charge level of the stationary battery and an amount of energy presently received from the multiple solar cells.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of solar cells, wherein each of the plurality of solar cells is configured to deliver energy in response to received sunlight;
- a stationary battery configured to store energy generated by the plurality of solar cells;
- and
- an energy controller configured to dynamically determine a charging rate of the stationary battery and a charging rate of an electric vehicle based on a state-of-charge level of the stationary battery and an amount of energy presently being received from the plurality of solar cells.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- determining an amount of energy presently received from at least one solar cell;
- identifying a present state-of-charge level of a stationary battery, wherein the stationary battery is capable of storing energy from the at least one solar cell;
- determining a charging rate for an electric vehicle based on at least one of the present state-of-charge level of the stationary battery or the amount of energy presently received by at least one solar cell;
- and
- delivering at least a portion of the energy presently received from the at least one solar cell to the electric vehicle based on the determined charging rate for the electric vehicle.
