Solution Approach 1:

The power source voltage controller dynamically adjusts the output voltage of the AC power source apparatus based on real-time monitoring of output power. When the output power approaches the rated capacity, the controller automatically reduces the voltage to prevent overload, enabling the system to adaptively manage multiple power receiving apparatuses without complete stoppage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the power source voltage controller continuously monitors the output power of the AC power source apparatus and adjusts the voltage accordingly. This closed-loop control ensures that the power transmission remains within safe operating limits while maximizing the number of serving apparatuses

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
