EV Charge-Sharing Communication for Coordinated Energy Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a lack of coordination in charge transfer between electric vehicles and charging stations, particularly when electric vehicles need to share charge to reach a charging station.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a processor and memory that executes computer executable components to establish communication links with vehicles, receive charge sharing requests, and determine charge routing schemes based on the type of request.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If electric vehicles have bidirectional energy transfer capability, then charge sharing between vehicles becomes possible, but coordination of charge transfer between vehicles and charging stations is lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a charging station as an intermediary coordinator that manages charge transfer between multiple electric vehicles. The charging station receives charge sharing requests from vehicles, determines optimal charge routing schemes, and coordinates the energy flow to ensure reliable and efficient charge sharing while preventing conflicts and ensuring proper billing.
2Productivity
If charge transfer data is collected from multiple vehicles, then charge routing optimization becomes possible, but communication complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal communication protocol that allows the charging station to interact with multiple different electric vehicles using a standardized interface. This multi-functional communication system can handle various types of charge sharing requests (direct charging, indirect charging, charging swaps) and vehicle types through a single coordinated system, reducing overall communication complexity while maintaining high routing efficiency.
Data Source
AI summary
A communication method to discharge energy is enabled. For example, a vehicle can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components, and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components comprise a connection component that, based on receiving a connection from a first vehicle, establishes a communication link with the first vehicle, a communication component that, based on receiving the connection, receives a charge sharing request message, from the first vehicle, comprising charge transfer data, and a charge sharing determination component that, based on a charge sharing request message, determines a type of charge sharing request extracted from the charge sharing request message.
