Patent number: 12158739Abstract: An electric power management system is a system that performs an exchange of electric power with an electric power system of an electric power company that is a counterparty of the exchange of the electric power, and includes a plurality of the vehicles, each including a battery, and a server that manages an exchange of the electric power between the battery of each of the vehicles and the electric power system. The server manages the exchange of the electric power for each vehicle group in which the vehicles are bundled, and configures the vehicle groups in advance such that distributions of the electric power supply and demand characteristics of the batteries of the vehicles included in the vehicle groups are the same or similar.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2022Date of Patent: December 3, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masato Ehara, Rentaro Kuroki, Shunsuke Kobuna, Tatsuro Kiyohara, Naohiro Seo, Takaharu Tateishi

Patent number: 12143822Abstract: A control system includes a computer configured to remotely control at least one of charging and discharging of a power storage device mounted on a control target. The computer is configured to transmit a first command indicating charging power or discharging power of the power storage device to the control target via each of a first communication path and a second communication path. The control system further includes a determination unit configured to determine whether or not any one of the first communication path and the second communication path is under a cyberattack by using a second command received by the control target via the first communication path when the computer transmits the first command, and a third command received by the control target via the second communication path when the computer transmits the first command.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2022Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masato Ehara, Rentaro Kuroki, Shunsuke Kobuna, Tatsuro Kiyohara, Naohiro Seo, Takaharu Tateishi

Publication number: 20230014362Abstract: An electric power management system is a system that performs an exchange of electric power with an electric power system of an electric power company that is a counterparty of the exchange of the electric power, and includes a plurality of the vehicles, each including a battery, and a server that manages an exchange of the electric power between the battery of each of the vehicles and the electric power system. The server limits the exchange of the electric power between the electric power system and the battery by an upper limit value or a lower limit value of a state of charge of the battery, and changes the upper limit value or the lower limit value in accordance with a degree of charge-discharge of the battery.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masato EHARA, Rentaro KUROKI, Shunsuke KOBUNA, Tatsuro KIYOHARA, Naohiro SEO, Takaharu TATEISHI

Publication number: 20230019914Abstract: A control system includes a computer that controls each of multiple power balancing resources. The computer selects one or more control targets to be used for power balancing of an external electric power source from the power balancing resources, and controls each of the one or more control targets so as to cause the power storage device to charge or discharge for the power balancing. The computer preferentially selects the power balancing resource provided with a small-capacity power storage device as the control target for the power balancing of which duration is shorter than a predetermined time, and preferentially selects the power balancing resource provided with a large-capacity power storage device as the control target for the power balancing of which the duration is longer than the predetermined time.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masato EHARA, Rentaro KUROKI, Shunsuke KOBUNA, Tatsuro KIYOHARA, Naohiro SEO, Takaharu TATEISHI

Publication number: 20230019846Abstract: An electric power management system includes a plurality of the vehicles, each including a battery, and a server that manages an exchange of electric power between the battery and an electric power system of an electric power company. The server detects a predetermined operation of a user that correlates with termination of the exchange of the electric power between the battery and the electric power system. When the predetermined operation is detected, the server calculates an estimated time when the exchange of the electric power between the battery and the electric power system is terminated, and executes a process of distributing the electric power to be exchanged by the vehicle in which the exchange of the electric power with the electric power system is estimated to be terminated at the calculated estimated time to another vehicle that performs the exchange of the electric power with the electric power system.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masato EHARA, Rentaro KUROKI, Shunsuke KOBUNA, Tatsuro KIYOHARA, Naohiro SEO, Takaharu TATEISHI
