Abstract:
A control system includes a first device configured to receive a first voltage, and convert the first voltage to a second voltage that varies according to a variation of the received first voltage. The control system also includes a second device configured to receive the second voltage and to change a charging rate of an energy storage device according to a variation of the received second voltage.
Abstract:
There is provided a plug which includes electrodes that transmit direct-current power and an electrode cover that covers the electrodes. The electrode cover includes a lock detection unit that electrically detects that the electrode cover is locked.
Abstract:
A charge calculation apparatus, system and method allow for a controller to administer an electric power charging operation to one or more client devices, such as an electric vehicle. The vehicle provides its ID to the controller, which in turn calculates a tax according to the vehicle making the request, and other factors such as taxing jurisdiction, amount of electricity used, timing, etc. By controlling the charging operation in this way, the taxing authorities are able to collect tax revenue for use in maintaining roads from the users of those roads by monitoring which vehicles are using electricity to operate the vehicles on the roads. By keeping track of the vehicle's movement within different tax jurisdictions, the tax may be apportioned amongst the different taxing authorities.
Abstract:
A battery device includes a plurality of power converters, and a power storage unit connected between the power converters. The power converters and the power storage unit are configured to convert power from a first power standard to a second power standard by transferring the power through the power storage unit.
