Abstract
Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION INNOVATION PATENT Solar photovoltaic battery storage controller with multiple communications Tristan Tucker 01 March 2014 Solar PV Battery storage controller Abstract The device described in this patent directs electricity generated by Solar PV panels to either a battery for storage or a DC to AC inverter to then be consumed through residential usage or flow into the electricity distribution network. The unit is intended to be used with a Solar PV installation. The unit also allows for multiple communication methods including manually instructing the unit with input buttons on the unit, an electricity network that is able to instruct the unit using Audio Frequency Load Control (AFLC) ripple control signals, or providing settings through an internet portal. The multiple communication options of the unit allow for installation into a wide variety of residences. In addition to being able to receive settings from an internet portal, the unit is also able to upload critical information such as voltage, wattage, amps, and temperature.

Description
Editorial Note 2014100385 There are 3 pages in the description only AUSTRALIA Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION INNOVATION PATENT Solar photovoltaic battery storage controller with multiple communications Tristan Tucker 01 March 2014 Solar PV Battery storage controller Description The device is an electronic appliance that connects to the output of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and a Direct Current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC) inverter and a battery. The device can be powered from DC supplied from Solar PV panels or from mains voltage. The device allows consumers and electricity distributors to control when electricity generated from Solar PV panels is to be stored in a battery or when stored and generated energy should be released into the electricity grid or consumed through residential usage via a DC to AC inverter. The device has the ability to connect to the internet via wired or wireless or mobile internet and can upload critical information such as battery status, device status, kW, kW/hr, voltage, wattage and temperature to a cloud storage host. The information can then be retrieved by customers who access a webpage dedicated to each device where settings can be modified and applied. The device can also receive signals from electricity distributors through the electricity distribution grid through Audio Frequency Load Control (AFLC) ripple control signals. The AFLC signals tell the device to either; * charge a battery using energy from Solar PV panels or * release the stored energy in a battery to the electricity grid or into residential wiring to consumed through residential usage as well as direct electricity generated from Solar PV panels to the electricity grid or into residential wiring to be consumed through residential usage. The device also has manual buttons and a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen which allows basic settings to be modified for the device as well as display critical statuses of the device as described above. The device has the ability to charge a battery or multiple batteries using energy gained from Solar PV panels. The device also can discharge a battery or batteries to supply a DC to AC inverter which is connected to a distribution electricity grid and the residential wiring of a house or building. The device may be better understood with reference to figure 1 and figure 2. Figure 1 shows the exterior of the device which may be manufactured from various materials such as plastic or metal as well as others. The device is 20 cm 3 however it can be made larger or smaller without affecting the performance of the device. The device has connections to: * Solar PV panels which supply electricity to the device which can be diverted to either a battery or batteries or a DC to AC inverter. * Battery or batteries whereby electricity can flow in either direction depending on the settings of the device. * DC to AC inverter whereby electricity can flow in either direction depending on the settings of the device. The DC to AC inverter can be connected to residential wiring or an electricity network or both.
Solar PV Battery storage controller The device has a temperature sensor and wireless antenna to assist in making stable connections with wireless internet or mobile internet connections. The device also has a RJ45 connection for wired internet connections. Figure 2 shows the overall network in which the device operates. A connection to an electricity grid exists through a DC to AC inverter and the device. A battery or batteries are also connected to the device along with a connection to a Solar PV installation. In figure 2, the device is connected to a cloud through a wireless internet connection, however, it is also possible to connect the device to the cloud though a wired internet connection or mobile internet connection.
Claims (3)
1. The device controls the flow of electricity from Solar PV Panels to either a DC to AC inverter or a battery using either; * instructions entered in the device to divert electricity to an inverter or battery or battery charger based on time of day, date, day of the week, month of the year, or year the device is operating in; * instructions received using ripple control or Audio Frequency Load Control signals from another device located on the same electricity network; * instructions received from an internet server through wired or wireless internet access point or mobile internet device.
2. The device as claimed in claim 1 controls the flow of electricity using several communication methods. When the device is directed to divert electricity from Solar PV panels to a DC to AV inverter, device is also able to discharge electricity from a battery or batteries to a DC to AC inverter.
3. When an internet connection is available to the device such as through a wired or wireless internet access point or mobile internet device, the device will upload: * current device status; * voltage information of inputs and output flows in volts; * current information of input and output flows in amps; * current diversion status; * device time and date; * temperature of device; Tristan Tucker 01 March 2014
