  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BUFFERING ENERGY FROM INTERMITTENT POWER SOURCES
    Publication number: 20250030267
    Abstract: The devices, systems, and methods described herein are directed to buffering the electrical energy output from an intermittent power source before storing the electrical energy in a battery storage system. In some examples, a buffering module receives electrical energy from the intermittent power source at a first rate that exceeds a threshold charging rate of a battery storage system. The buffering module temporarily stores the electrical energy before outputting the electrical energy to the battery storage system at a second rate that is at or below the threshold charging rate of the battery storage system.

  • Buffering in photovoltaic plus storage systems
    Patent number: 12113477
    Abstract: The devices, systems, and methods described herein are directed to buffering the electrical energy output from a PV array before storing the electrical energy in a battery storage system of the PV system. In some examples, a buffering module receives electrical energy from one or more PV cells at a first level that exceeds a threshold charging rate of a battery storage system. The buffering module temporarily stores the electrical energy before outputting the electrical energy to the battery storage system at a second level that is at or below the threshold charging rate of the battery storage system.
