Systems and methods are provided that integrate a modular load management solution within a general control architecture. One or more load modules deployed within a controller act as interlocks to energy consuming field devices or machines fed by an energy distribution system within a facility. One or more feeder modules deployed within the controller collect energy supply data from an energy source or feeder on the energy distribution system. The load and feeder modules publish their energy demand and supply data to a virtual energy bus, which facilitates exchange of energy data between the load and feeder modules. The load modules, feeder modules, and virtual energy bus generate multiple views of the facility's overall energy supply and demand status based on the energy data shared between the components, and perform automated load management for the energy distribution system based on the collected data.

The grid load synchronization system described herein permits proactive mitigation of the effects of large loads transitioning on and off the power grid and the resultant risks and power quality issues associated therewith. The disclosed proactive system permits a grid-connected power consumer to synchronize demand with power storage equipment in real time using a digital communication link. The power consumer transmits requests to bring a load online or offline to a control site. The control site coordinates power grid source(s) and power grid loads to maintain power quality when loads go on and offline. The control sites manage requests from multiple power consumers and schedule the various loads for the consumers to mitigate the effects of large loads transitioning on and off the power grid. The resulting power quality can be guaranteed when adequate battery resources are made proactively available, rather than reacting to line conditions to engage compensation actions.

Charging control device and charging control system

Номер: US20140062419A1

Автор: Masato Kasaya, Satoru Ueno

Принадлежит: Panasonic Corp

When a communication control unit ( 14 ) in this charging control device ( 1 ) receives an inhibition command sent by a power monitoring device ( 2 ), the communication control unit instructs a signal processing unit ( 10 ) to lower a current capacity (an upper limit for a charging current). The signal processing unit ( 10 ) reduces the duty ratio of a pilot signal. As a result, the charging power supplied to an electric vehicle ( 200 ) decreases, thus making it possible to prevent the supplied power from exceeding a contract demand and minimize problems stemming from the charging of a rechargeable battery.
