  • Publication number: 20250096599
    Abstract: A system to supply emergency power to an elevator includes one or more lithium batteries, an inverter coupled to the lithium batteries, a battery management system (BMS) coupled to the inverter, an Energy Management Software (EMS) coupled to the BMS, and a relay coupled to utility power, wherein the relay operates to provide utility power to the system and notifies the EMS that utility power is on, wherein the EMS initiates charging of the BMS system, wherein the BMS sends charging command to the inverter, which operates until the state of charge is 100%, where the inverter goes into a standby mode.

  • Patent number: 12255459
    Abstract: A system to manage power consumption from a grid includes a building switchgear; an energy storage system (ESS) coupled to the building switchgear to selectively provide power in response to a customer power demand to prevent a customer grid power consumption from spiking and peaking at grid imbalance highest cost on peak times; an energy management system (EMS) to operate the ESS from behind-the-meter; and a data distribution service (DDS) coupled to the EMS forming a DDS-EMS network to provide a global data space servicing EMS edge publishers and subscribers.

  • Patent number: 12083919
    Abstract: System and methods are disclosed to charge an electric vehicle (EV) and manage grid power consumption. The system includes a building switchgear coupled to a building meter; an independent system operator (ISO) accepted meter coupled to the building switchgear, the ISO meter including a telemetry unit to communicate with an ISO; and a battery energy storage system (BESS) coupled to the building switchgear, and an ISO or System Performance Meter, wherein the BESS selectively provides power in response to a customer power demand or an EV charging request to prevent a customer grid power consumption from spiking and peaking at grid imbalance highest cost on peak times.
