  • Publication number: 20240109443
    Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for scheduling and distributing power for electric vehicle chargers, through enabling and disabling a plurality of relays at a system. One of the criteria to allow an authenticated user to use an electric vehicle charger is whether there is enough electricity capacity. When the user is allowed to use a scheduled electric vehicle charger, its location is then sent to the user. Alert messages can be generated if charging does not begin within a first time limit and the cancellation of a reservation will take place if the second time limit is reached.

  • Patent number: 11159019
    Abstract: The methods and systems are provided to adaptively change power threshold at a policy based power supply device (PBPSD). The PBPSD (101) retrieves a first power policy and determines a power threshold substantially based on the first power policy. A power port authority is also determined based on the first power policy. The PBPSD (101) then provides power to each of the plurality of power ports based on the power threshold and the power port priority. The PBPSD (101) comprises a first processor, a plurality of power connectors, and a plurality of AC-DC regulators. Each of the plurality of power connectors is capable of receiving electricity from a power supply.

  • Patent number: 10884466
    Abstract: Methods and systems for supplying more power than a power limit to a powered device (PD) if the PD is capable of receiving power more than the power limit, and receiving power more than the power limit from a power sourcing equipment (PSE) if the PSE is capable of supplying power more than the power limit. The PD and the PSE operates in a power over Ethernet (PoE) environment. The system comprises a power receiving section and a power supply section. The power receiving section comprises a first power-receiving circuit and a second power-receiving circuit, where the first power-receiving circuit is used when receiving power up to the power limit, and the second power-receiving circuit is used when receiving power more than the power limit.

  • Patent number: 10569664
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing power supply at a device. The device is capable of receiving power via a plurality of power inputs. The device first determines whether a first condition is satisfied. A first switch is maintained in a closed position if the first condition is satisfied. When the first switch is in a closed position, the device is capable of receiving power from a first power supply. Alternatively, when the first condition is not satisfied, the device determines whether or not a second condition is satisfied. If the second condition is satisfied, the first switch is maintained to be in a closed position. If the second condition is not satisfied, the first switch is opened after a predefined time period.
