Description

<Cross reference to related applications>
This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. 146 priority is claimed.

The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for generating, storing and/or providing electrical energy.

Electricity consumption worldwide is enormous and will continue to grow as traditional non-motorized machines are replaced by their motorized counterparts. For example, electric vehicles, especially passenger cars, are becoming more and more prevalent in the country's road system. An American electric car maker that sold about 50,000 vehicles a year in 2015-2016 has said it hopes to increase sales to 500,000 in just a few years.

The motivation for switching to power is multifaceted. The cost and environmental impact of power generation are believed to be superior to alternative power sources such as fossil fuel-based power. This advantage is amplified by government and industry incentives for consumers to use electricity instead of non-electricity. For example, users of electric vehicles may benefit from tax incentives, preferential parking, preferential road access and free recharging provided for the use of electricity, as opposed to power sources derived from fossil fuels, for their transportation needs. obtained all Accordingly, there is a continuing and increasing need for systems for generating, storing and distributing electrical power.

In developed countries, sophisticated generation and distribution systems, sometimes called "power grids," have been installed throughout the country. Grids are widespread and ubiquitous, but they are not always available and do not provide the lowest cost power over the long term. Although blackouts are rare, occasional storms can disrupt power distribution to large population segments for extended periods of time. This power outage interferes with home life and work, resulting in a substantial loss of productivity and comfort. Moreover, the cost of obtaining power from the grid is substantial, and there is little ability to inject much competition into the system to bring the cost down. Accordingly, there is a need for both mobile and stationary power generation systems that are highly grid independent for day-to-day operations and have the scale to power single homes, businesses and vehicles.

Accordingly, it is an object of some, but not necessarily all, embodiments of the present invention to provide systems and methods for efficiently generating electrical power for home, business and vehicle use. It is also an object of some, but not necessarily all, embodiments of the present invention to provide systems and methods for efficiently storing and distributing electrical power for home, business and vehicle use.

Referring to FIG. 1 , in a first embodiment of the invention, a direct current (DC) battery system 100 may be electrically connected to a power generation system 300 by a switching subsystem 200 . Power generation system 300 may be electrically connected to AC power distribution subsystem 400 , which in turn may be connected to load source 500 and battery charging system 600 . Battery charging system 600 may be connected to battery system 100 via switching subsystem 200 .

DC battery system 100 may include first, second and third battery subsystems or banks 110, 120 and 130, each of which may be composed of a plurality of individual batteries and battery cells. The individual batteries and battery cells that make up each battery subsystem may be connected in series. In one non-limiting example, each battery subsystem may include a total of twelve 12 volt, 200 amp lead acid deep cycle batteries. A battery subsystem with these parameters provides a constant output of 5 kW for 15 minutes, followed by recharging (or resting) for 15 minutes, and resting for 15 minutes (or may be recharged). In one non-limiting example, each battery subsystem can include at least one lithium-ion battery. It is understood that the type, voltage, amperage and other materials and qualities of the batteries used may vary without departing from the intended scope of the invention.

The battery, when combined with the battery subsystem, provides sufficient power and power to power the switching subsystem 200, the power generation system 300, the load source 500, and the battery charging system 600 for a period of time without excessive discharge. Should have amperage. In one embodiment, each battery subsystem 110, 120 and 130 can power the entire system for 15 minutes of a 45 minute cycle without discharging more than about 20% at the beginning of battery life.

The first positive terminals of first, second and third battery subsystems 110, 120 and 130 may be electrically connected to switching subsystem 200 via conductors 150, 152 and 156, respectively. The switching subsystem 200 may then be electrically connected to the power generation system 300 via point A and to the battery charging system 600 via point C via a positive polarity conductor. The negative poles of the first, second and third battery subsystems 110 , 120 and 130 may be electrically connected to the power generation system 300 and the battery charging system 600 via point B via conductors 154 .

One non-limiting embodiment of a switching subsystem 200 is shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 2 , switching subsystem 200 may include one or more timers 210 that may be electrically connected to first, second and third low voltage contactors 220 , 222 and 224 . The first low voltage contactor 220 can control the first and second high voltage contactors 231 and 232, the second low voltage contactor 222 can control the third and fourth high voltage contactors 233 and 234 and the third low voltage contactor 224 can control fifth and sixth high voltage contactors 235 and 230 which are connected together via point D in the circuit.

Under the control of timer 210 and first and third low voltage contactors 220 and 224 , first and sixth high voltage contactors 231 and 230 connect first battery subsystem 110 to first bus 240 . , or to the second bus 242, or to not be connected to either bus. Timer 210 and first and second low voltage contactors 220 and 222 control second and third high voltage contactors 232 and 233 to connect second battery subsystem 120 to first bus 240 . , or to the second bus 242, or to not be connected to either bus. Similarly, timer 210 and second and third low voltage contactors 222 and 224 control fourth and fifth high voltage contactors 234 and 235 to switch third battery subsystem 130 to the first. It can be selectively connected to bus 240, to a second bus 242, or to neither bus.

Timer 210 may send low voltage control signals to first, second and third low voltage contactors 220, 222 and 224 automatically and/or under the control of a functional control subsystem described below. can. Such a signal may activate a particular low voltage contactor to open or close a high voltage contactor connected thereto. As a result, the combination of timer 210, low voltage contactors 220, 222 and 224 and high voltage contactors 230, 231, 232, 233, 234 and 235 connect each of battery subsystems 110, 120 and 130 to the first bus. 240, or a second bus 242, or neither bus. The cascading arrangement of timer 210, low voltage contactors 220, 222, 224 and high voltage contactors 230-235 ensures that only one of the battery subsystems is connected to the first bus 240 at a time and the battery subsystem only one of which is allowed to be connected to the second bus 242 . However, it is understood that the system may allow for the possibility of brief overlap times in which two battery subsystems may be connected to the same bus simultaneously.

1 and 2, a first bus 240 may be connected to the power generation system 300 via point A and a second bus 242 may be connected to the battery charging system 600 via point C. good. Accordingly, switching subsystem 200 may be functionally configured to selectively switch between: Namely
- in the first phase of operation, connecting the first pole of the first battery subsystem 110 to the battery charging system 600 while simultaneously connecting the first pole of the second battery subsystem 120 to the power generation system 300; When,
- in the second phase of operation, connecting the first pole of the third battery subsystem 130 to the power generation system 300 while simultaneously connecting the first pole of the second battery subsystem 120 to the battery charging system 600; When,
- in a third phase of operation, connecting the first pole of the third battery subsystem 130 to the battery charging system 600 while simultaneously connecting the first pole of the first battery subsystem 110 to the power generation system 300; and to selectively switch between.

Another embodiment of a switching subsystem 200 is shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. 1 and 3, three-way switches 250, 252 and 254, respectively, connect the positive terminal of the associated battery subsystem (110, 120 and 130) to point A or point C in the overall circuit, or ) can be connected to one of the circuit-disconnected positions. Three-way switches 250, 252 and 254 may be controlled by one or more timers 210 to provide switching similar to that provided by the embodiment of FIG.

Referring again to FIG. 1 , power generation system 300 may include a function control subsystem 310 electrically connected to and powered by battery system 100 via switching subsystem 200 . Function control subsystem 310 may optionally be connected to and control timer 210 within switching subsystem 200 . Function control subsystem 310 can be powered from one of the battery subsystems in battery system 100 at a time to drive DC electric motor 330 , which in turn drives AC generator 350 . can do. Function control subsystem 310 may control the speed of electric motor subsystem 330 .

A typical generator has a high torque requirement, which has necessitated an additional gearbox in hitherto known systems. These systems required a gearbox to lower the torque and lower the power consumption of the motor. A gearbox is eliminated from the current system by using a new specially designed generator with lower torque requirements. This removes mechanical elements from the system that can fail, and also removes the stresses applied to the system by the gearbox, making the system more efficient.

Power generation system 300 may also include a cooling subsystem 360 controlled by function control subsystem 310 . Cooling subsystem 360 may be in operational contact with any and/or all heat generating components of the overall system, such as function control subsystem 310 , motor 330 and generator 350 . The cooling subsystem 360 can maintain the system components within the optimum operating temperature range in a manner known to those skilled in the art.

Capacitor subsystem 320 may be electrically coupled to function control subsystem 310 . Capacitor subsystem 320 may include multiple capacitors interconnected in parallel with each other. Capacitor subsystem 320 may be used to control and correct system characteristics such as power factor lag and phase shift. Capacitor subsystem 320 can also increase stored energy and improve stabilization of the sine wave generated by the processor within function control subsystem 310 .

Functional control subsystem 310 may include a digital processor, digital memory components, and control programming as needed to operate the overall system in the manner described herein. For example, the function control subsystem 310 can include programming that controls system components for start-up sequences, shutdown sequences, vibration monitoring, overheat monitoring, and remote monitoring. Function control subsystem 310 may also include or be connected to one or more parameter monitoring components that provide system data. Such data includes battery charge level and capacity, battery amperage, battery voltage, battery usage time, battery charge time, current time, system element temperature, vibration, source load, electric motor torque, electric motor rotation speed, power generation. These may include, but are not limited to, machine torque, generator rotational speed, battery charging system load, rectifier settings as well as inductor settings.

The size and operating characteristics of electric motor 330 and generator 350 are determined for optimum power generation and battery life for a given expected load 500 serviced by the system, and for battery subsystems 110, 120 and 130. It may be selected to provide recharge rate and recharge time. With a battery subsystem of the type described, electric motor 330 may require 144V/100A to maintain operation. The speed of electric motor 330 preferably reduces or minimizes the torque imposed by generator 350 while simultaneously servicing load 500 and recharging one battery subsystem. is set at or near the minimum rotational speed required to drive the generator to provide adequate amperage and voltage. The use of the novel low torque demand generator 350 allows torque to be provided at the generator 350 without increasing (and preferably decreasing) the torque demand of the electric motor 330, thereby driving the electric motor. Lower power drain on the battery subsystem and improve battery drain characteristics for a given power output of the generator.

The speed of electric motor 330 may be automatically set from moment to moment by function control subsystem 310 on a real-time basis. The function control subsystem 310 may receive electric motor 330 speed data from, for example, a speed sensor located on the shaft of the motor, as well as battery recharge and load 500 power demands from other sensors. The function control subsystem 310 can adjust the electric motor 330 speed so that the generator 350 supplies the current required power to the generator with maximum torque and minimum torque on the motor. In this manner, the function control subsystem 310 can optimize power generation conditions (electric motor rotation speed and generator rotation speed) on a real-time basis.

Generator 350 may be connected to AC distribution subsystem 400 via one or more electrical conductors. A power distribution subsystem may comprise, for example, an AC breaker box. Power distribution subsystem 400 may be connected to load source 500 and battery charging system 600 via one or more conductors. The power demands of load source 500 and battery charging system 600 are communicated from sensors associated with power distribution subsystem 400, load source 500 and/or battery charging system 600 to function control subsystem 310 via wired or wireless communication channels. may The power demand may be used by the autothrottle control module of the functional control subsystem 310 to set the electric motor 330 to run at the correct speed for the power demand of the system.

Battery charging system 600 may include inductor subsystem 610 electrically connected to rectifier subsystem 630 through one or more circuit breakers 620 . The combination of the inductor subsystem 610 and the rectifier subsystem 630 keeps the idle battery subsystem 110, It is used to provide the required level of recharge to one of 120 or 130 . The rectifier subsystem 630 may self-adjust to accommodate the recharge draw due to recharging of the currently charging battery subsystem. In other words, normally without the inductor subsystem 610, the self-regulating rectifier subsystem 630 can reduce the voltage and/or amperage supplied to the battery subsystem being recharged during the charging cycle. As a result, without the inductor subsystem 610, the battery subsystem may not recharge quickly enough to fully recharge in the desired cycle time. The addition of the inductor subsystem 610 with adjustable rheostat reduces the amperage draw of the battery charging system 600 (and therefore less time to recharge an idle battery subsystem) compared to systems without induction coils. available amperage) can be increased. Preferably, the rheostat setting of inductor subsystem 610 may be automatically adjusted during the recharge cycle under the control of function control 310 . The rheostat settings should preferably be adjusted in real-time so that the total battery drain of the battery subsystems used to power the system during recharging is minimized and fully or nearly full. It is configured to complete recharging in a desired time. According to one embodiment, a battery charge controller subsystem 650 (not shown) may couple generator subsystem 350 and electrical battery system 100 .

The system shown in FIGS. 1-3 generates, stores and distributes power to power a load source 500 while simultaneously recharging depleted battery subsystems 110, 120 and/or 130 as follows. power can be generated to A method using the illustrated system may be initiated by function control subsystem 310 sending a wired or wireless control signal to switching subsystem 200 during a first phase of operation. Signals of function control subsystem 310 may be configured such that timer 210 sends low voltage control signals to first, second and third low voltage contactors 220 , 222 and 224 . The control signal of timer 210 causes first and third low voltage contactors 220 and 224 to connect the first positive terminal of first battery subsystem 110 via conductor 150 and high voltage contactors 230 and/or 231. can be coupled to the first bus 240 . A first bus 240 then connects the first battery subsystem 110 to the function control 310 and the electric motor 330 . The second negative terminal of the first battery subsystem 110 is permanently coupled to the function control 310 and the electric motor 330 so that the first battery subsystem can be used to power the electric motor. The circuit is temporarily completed.

At the same time that the first battery subsystem is used to power electric motor 330 (i.e., the first phase of operation), the control signal sent from function control 310 to timer 210 is used to The first, second and third low voltage contactors 220, 222 and 224 can be controlled to connect and disconnect other battery subsystems. Specifically, low voltage contactors 220, 222 and 224 are used to control high voltage contactors 232, 233, 234 and 235 to connect the first positive terminal of the second battery subsystem 120 to the second terminal. , to temporarily isolate the first positive terminal of the third battery subsystem 130 from any circuitry. As a result, during the first phase of operation, second battery subsystem 120 may be connected to rectifier subsystem 630 and third battery subsystem 130 may be isolated.

During the first phase of operation, electric motor 330 rotates under the power of first battery subsystem 110 . The rotary motion of electric motor 330 is used to drive generator 350 via electric motor 330 . The torque resistance of generator 350 on electric motor may vary depending on the load applied to the generator from load source 500 and battery charging system 600 . The speed of electric motor 330 may be selectively adjusted by function control 310 to optimize speed for the load applied to generator 350 .

The power output of generator 350 is partially directed to battery charging system 600 by power distribution subsystem 400 . The inductor subsystem 610 and the rectifier subsystem 630 of the battery charging system 600 work together, preferably under control of the function control 310, to recharge the second battery subsystem 120 during the first phase of operation. The first operating phase is after a set elapsed time, after detecting a set level of discharge of the first battery subsystem 110, or after a set level of recharging of the second battery subsystem 120. may be terminated automatically after

After the end of the first phase of operation, setting up of the second phase of operation immediately follows, in which function control 310 instructs switching system 200 to switch second battery subsystem 120 to the first battery. Subsystem 110 is replaced, third battery subsystem 130 is replaced by second battery subsystem 120 , and first battery subsystem 110 is replaced by third battery subsystem 130 . In other words, during the second phase of operation, the second battery subsystem 120 is used to power, the third battery subsystem 130 is recharged, and the first battery subsystem 110 is used to power and recharge circuitry. disconnected from. During the third phase of operation, the third battery subsystem 130 powers the system, the first battery subsystem 110 is recharged, and the second battery subsystem 120 is disconnected. Rotation through the first, second and third phases of operation may be repeated so that power to the load source 500 is not interrupted.

Another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 4, in which like elements that operate similarly to those described in connection with the other embodiments are labeled with like reference numerals. . The power generation system 300 may be connected to the AC distribution system 400 via an on-grid inverter 370 to power the load source 500 . The power generation system 300 may also be connected to the DC battery and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system 100 via a rectifier/inductor system 700 . Battery/UPS system 100 may selectively power power generation system 300 via rectifier/inductor system 700 . The switching subsystem 200 controls switching across the circuit of the battery/UPS system 100 and can receive recharge power from the battery charging system 600 connected to the power distribution system 400 to complete the circuit.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 4 , the overall system may begin to generate power by connecting the battery/UPS system 100 to the rectifier/inductor system 700 under control of the switching system 200 . DC power may flow from battery/UPS system 100 through inductor 710 , breaker 720 and rectifier 730 . DC power from rectifier 730 is supplied to power generation system 300 . Function control subsystem 310 applies DC power from rectifier 730 to DC electric motor subsystem 330 . The DC motor then drives the DC generator 380 .

Electric motor 330 is operably connected to generator 350 . Function control subsystem 310 may control the speed of electric motor subsystem 330 . Power generation system 300 may also include a cooling subsystem 360 controlled by function control subsystem 310 .
