  • Patent number: 11777311
    Abstract: A microgrid comprises an electric vehicle battery storage system that supplies a first DC signal, a bus bar that receives the first DC signal and provides a combined DC signal, a frequency variable and/or voltage variable inverter that receives the combined DC signal, converts, responsive to one or more control signals, the combined DC signal into a first AC signal having variable frequency and/or variable voltage, and provides the first AC signal having the variable frequency and/or voltage to the electrical loads of the facility, and a DC to AC that receives, responsive to the one or more control signals, the combined DC signal from the bus bar, and converts the combined DC signal to a second AC signal.

  • Patent number: 11502514
    Abstract: A micro grid system comprises a secondary energy source and a power controller. The secondary energy source is associated with a micro grid that includes a fixed or mobile facility, and the secondary energy source is configured to generate first DC power signal. The power controller is in communication with the secondary energy source and an electric grid, and configured to receive first AC power signal from the electric grid and the first DC power signal from the secondary energy source and output a second AC power signal to loads in communication with the power controller. The power controller comprises an AC to DC frequency converter configured to change frequency and/or voltage of the second AC power signal, a processor, and a memory configured to store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to control the frequency converter to change the frequency and/or voltage of the second AC power signal.

  • Patent number: 11476666
    Abstract: A system comprises a converter that converts a grid AC signal to a first DC signal, a bus bar that receives the first DC signal and provides a combined DC signal, power electronics in communication with electrical loads via a breaker panel, where the power electronics convert, responsive to control signals, the combined DC signal into a second AC signal having variable frequency/variable voltage, and provides the second AC signal to the electrical loads, a processor that receives sensed characteristics and provides, based in part on the sensed characteristics, the control signals to the power electronics, and sensors that sense characteristics of the second AC signal and supply the sensed characteristics to the processor. The power electronics control the variable frequency and/or variable voltage of the second AC signal based at least in part on the one or more control signals to reduce negative effects on the breaker panel.

  • Patent number: 11251614
    Abstract: A micro grid system comprises an adapter, a power controller, and secondary energy source. The adapter is in communication with an electric grid and configured to connect and disconnect a connection between the electric grid and a micro grid. The power controller is in communication with the adapter and configured to receive first AC power from the electric grid via the adapter, obtain grid information, and control the adapter to connect and disconnect the connection between the electric grid and the micro grid. The power controller controls the adapter to disconnect the connection in response to determining that the electric grid is abnormal based on the grid information. The secondary energy source is in communication with the power controller and is configured to generate DC power and to supply the DC power to the power controller.
