Renewable energy storage and delivery system with blockchain control
The patent US12015300B2 describes a sophisticated system designed to efficiently power electrical loads, particularly data centers, by integrating batteries, local power utilities, and power generators. The system features a power control mechanism that manages the flow of electricity from these sources to the load. It continuously monitors the purchase prices of power and fuel on their respective markets, enabling the system to optimize energy usage. When prices drop below a predetermined threshold, the system triggers the batteries to enter a charging state, thereby storing energy for later use. Additionally, the system employs blockchain technology to document the flow of power, enhancing transparency and reliability.
The claims also outline configurations that include multiple batteries and the ability to switch power sources based on market conditions. For instance, when the purchase price of power or fuel rises above a set value, the system can redirect power from the batteries instead of relying on the local utility or generator. This flexibility allows for improved energy management and cost savings. The comprehensive design ensures that the electrical load can be powered efficiently, whether from the local utility, the generator, or the batteries, depending on real-time market conditions. Overall, the patent presents a novel approach to energy management that leverages market dynamics and advanced technology for optimal performance.
