POWER TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION CONTROL DEVICE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION OF POWER, POWER TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION CONTROL SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of operating a first battery server for use with a first node of a power interchange system that distributes direct current (DC) power between a plurality of nodes, wherein each node of the plurality of nodes comprises a storage battery to store electrical energy and a battery server to control transmission of DC power from the storage battery of the node to one or more other nodes and to control receipt of DC power at the node from one or more storage batteries of one or more other nodes, wherein the method comprises:
- monitoring a state of charge in a first storage battery of the first node and a usage rate of power by one or more electrical components of the first node; and
in response to detecting that the state of charge of the first storage battery and/or the usage rate of power satisfies one or more conditions, requesting that a master node of the power interchange system control transmission of power from another node of the plurality of nodes to the first node, wherein the master node is one of the plurality of nodes.

Abstract
A method of operating a first battery server for use with a first node of a power interchange system that distributes direct current (DC) power between nodes, wherein each node of the nodes comprises a storage battery to store electrical energy and a battery server to control transmission of DC power from the storage battery of the node to one or more other nodes and to control receipt of DC power at the node from one or more storage batteries of one or more other nodes. The method comprises, in response to detecting that a state of charge of the first storage battery and/or a usage rate of power satisfies one or more conditions, requesting that a master node of the power interchange system control transmission of power from another node of the nodes to the first node, wherein the master node is one of the nodes.

13. A battery server for use with a first node of a power interchange system that distributes direct current (DC) power between a plurality of nodes, wherein the battery server comprises:
-
a storage battery to store electrical energy; at least one processor; and at least one computer-readable storage medium having encoded thereon executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to carry out a method comprising; monitoring a state of charge in the storage battery and a usage rate of power by one or more electrical components of the first node; and in response to detecting that the state of charge of the storage battery and/or the usage rate of power satisfies one or more conditions, requesting that a master node of the power interchange system control transmission of power from another node of the plurality of nodes to the first node, wherein the master node is one of the plurality of nodes. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
