Charging device and methods of authorizing a charging request
First Claim
1. A power system for use in supplying power to at least one load, said power system comprising:
- a charging device configured to;
generate a charging request representative of an amount of power requested to be supplied to at least one load; and
supply power to the at least one load upon a determination that the charging request is authorized; and
a remote device coupled to said charging device, said remote device comprising a processor programmed to;
receive the charging request;
determine a loading of a power distribution device and a power distribution limit associated with the power distribution device, wherein the power distribution device is configured to supply power to said charging device; and
determine whether to authorize the charging request based on the determined loading of the power distribution device and the power distribution limit associated with the power distribution device.

Abstract
A charging device includes a power delivery system configured to supply power to at least one load coupled to the charging device. The charging device also includes a processor coupled to the power delivery system, and the processor is programmed to transmit a charging request to a remote device. The charging request includes an amount of power requested to be supplied to the at least one load. The processor is programmed to receive data related to a loading of a power distribution device, wherein the power distribution device is configured to supply power to the charging device. The processor is further programmed to selectively activate the power delivery system to supply power to the at least one load based on the data received.
