    摘要: This disclosure details exemplary home energy storage systems capable of storing electricity locally for later consumption, such as for charging an electrified vehicle, supporting various home energy needs, and supporting alternative energy storage/power source functionality. An exemplary home energy storage system may include a stationary unit, one or more modular units removably connectable to the stationary unit, and a rack mounting and handcart transportation system configured to mount, detach, and transport the modular unit relative to the stationary unit. Once undocked from the stationary unit, the modular unit(s) may be utilized as a portable power source for powering one or more electrical loads. This disclosure further describes various interconnected functionalities (e.g., electrical and wireless communication of state of uses) between the stationary unit and the modular unit of home energy storage systems and between the modular unit and various satellite equipment associated with the modular unit.

    摘要: In at least one embodiment, a compressed gaseous fuel storage pellet is provided comprising a gas adsorbent material and a thermally conductive material extending substantially an entire dimension of the pellet and having a thermal conductivity of at least 75 W/mK. The pellet may include at least two layers of gas adsorbent material spaced apart along a compression direction of the pellet and a substantially continuous layer of the thermally conductive material disposed between the at least two layers of gas adsorbent material. The pellet may further include thermally conductive projections which intersect the layer(s) of thermally conductive material.

    摘要: A vehicle-to-building power system allows a vehicle to power a building. The system includes a power-receiving unit remote from a vehicle. The unit includes a cable configured to mate with a vehicle port and support high-voltage electrical loads between the vehicle and the power-receiving unit. The unit further includes a high-voltage inverter configured to convert a direct current (DC) power supplied from a vehicle battery to an alternating current (AC) power compatible with a building electrical system, and a high-voltage DC bus electrically connected to the inverter. The bus has one or more contactors that electrically connect the cable to the high-voltage inverter when closed and electrically disconnect the cable and the high-voltage inverter when open.
