  • Patent number: 10923919
    Abstract: A power control system for managing energy transfer includes a shared electrical bus including an electrical energy generating source, an electrical energy storage device, and an electrical load, each connected to the shared electrical bus; and a controller operable to execute a plurality of instructions stored in a non-transitory memory on the controller to: receive a command corresponding to a desired operation of the power control system, generate a plurality of control commands as a function of a signal received from at least one sensor, and generate a log storing the present operating state for each of the electrical energy generating source, the electrical energy storage device, and the electrical load over a predefined duration, and wherein the at least one input corresponding to the past operating state of the power control system is the log.

  • Patent number: 10454277
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling power flow in a hybrid power system includes a controller in communication with the hybrid power system. The controller is also in communication with at least one knowledge system to receive information related to power generation or power consumption within the hybrid power system. The controller generates a control command for each of the power converters in the hybrid power system and maintains a log of power flow to and from each device in the hybrid power system. The controller is also in communication with a provider of the utility grid and may generate the control commands for each of the power converters in response to commands provided from the provider of the utility grid.
