  • Patent number: 12689221
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing loads on a power grid are provided. In some embodiments, the load control system includes one or more power sources connected to a power grid. A method includes determining, by a first genset connected to a power grid, a power average at a first rate, and generating, by the first genset, a filtered power average. The filtered average includes the power average at a second rate. The filtered power average is used in the control algorithm to balance the load share of power sources on the power grid.

  • Publication number: 20260025021
    Abstract: A mobile power source system with maintenance charging and a method of maintenance charging the mobile power source system are disclosed. In one aspect, the mobile power source system includes a bidirectional inverter electrically connected to the battery and configured to convert an alternating current (AC) power to direct current (DC) power in a first direction and convert DC power to AC power in a second direction. The system also includes a first switch configured to provide grid power from an electrical grid to the bidirectional inverter when switched on and stop providing the grid power to the bidirectional inverter when switched off. The system further includes a second switch configured to provide battery power from the bidirectional inverter to a load when switched on and stop providing the battery power to the load when switched off.
