System and method for electrical grid management, risk mitigation, and resilience
Issued 11270243
See patentA system and method for providing risk mitigation and resilience to the electrical grid system by allowing bi-directional electricity usage from a distributed network of energy storage stations to form a large, distributed resource for the grid. A machine learning optimization module ingests various forms of data—from grid telemetry to traffic data to trip-to-trip data and more—in order to make informed spatiotemporal decisions about strategically placing and balancing energy stores across…
A system and method for providing risk mitigation and resilience to the electrical grid system by allowing bi-directional electricity usage from a distributed network of energy storage stations to form a large, distributed resource for the grid. A machine learning optimization module ingests various forms of data—from grid telemetry to traffic data to trip-to-trip data and more—in order to make informed spatiotemporal decisions about strategically placing and balancing energy stores across various regions to support optimum energy usage, risk mitigation, and grid fortification. Energy stores are then sent updated parameters as to the amount of energy to hold or release.

Fast electric vehicle charging and distributed grid resource adequacy management system
Issued 11007891
See patentA system and method for providing extreme fast charging of electric vehicles that mimics the typical gas station experience while also supporting local grid energy management using a distributed network of extremely fast charging stations to form a large virtual resource for the grid. The system consists of a controller unit responsible for system operation tasks, a high-voltage battery pack capable of rapid discharge rates to support extreme fast charging, a cloud-based database to persist and…
A system and method for providing extreme fast charging of electric vehicles that mimics the typical gas station experience while also supporting local grid energy management using a distributed network of extremely fast charging stations to form a large virtual resource for the grid. The system consists of a controller unit responsible for system operation tasks, a high-voltage battery pack capable of rapid discharge rates to support extreme fast charging, a cloud-based database to persist and manage system and network data, a DC electric vehicle outlet for providing charging, safety systems, and power electronic equipment configured to allow bi-directional flow of power between a local, low-voltage AC grid and the extreme fast charging station. The bi-directional capabilities of the power electronic circuits within the system allow the charging station to provide power resources, stored within the high-voltage battery pack, to help support local grid power consumption.
