  • An average power demand (depicted by a dashed-line curve 120) typically changes during a typical day. For example, demand for power can increase during business hours during a weekday and peak at some time during such hours. On the other hand, power consumption is likely to be significantly less at night when most businesses are closed and people are sleeping.

Abstract

La présente invention a trait à des systèmes et à des procédés permettant de fournir des services de réseau électrique et des stations de charge pour véhicules électriques. Selon certains modes de réalisation, une station de charge inclut un composant de stockage d'énergie tel qu'un groupe de batteries qui reçoit et stocke au moins une partie de l'énergie électrique provenant d'un réseau électrique. Cette énergie électrique stockée peut être amenée pour charger des véhicules électriques, ce qui permet de fournir une capacité tampon d'énergie. Selon certains modes de réalisation, cette énergie électrique stockée peut être transférée vers le réseau électrique lorsque nécessaire, comme lorsque le réseau électrique doit faire face à une fluctuation inattendue de la demande énergétique, ce qui permet ainsi de stabiliser les performances du réseau électrique. Divers composants et fonctionnalités d'une station de charge qui peuvent faciliter la charge de véhicules électriques d'une part et stabiliser le réseau électrique d'autre part sont présentés.
