CHARGING DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF SUPPLYING POWER TO AT LEAST ONE LOAD
First Claim
1. A charging device comprising:
- a power conditioning device configured to be coupled to an electric power source by an electrical distribution bus, said power conditioning device further configured to;
receive alternating current (AC) volt-amperes from the electric power source;
convert a first amount of the AC volt-amperes received into direct current (DC) power; and
supply the DC power to at least one load; and
a controller coupled to said power conditioning device, said controller configured to;
determine a second amount of volt-amperes that said charging device has a capacity to supply in addition to the DC power supplied; and
control said power conditioning device to supply volt-amperes reactive to the electrical distribution bus using at least a portion of the second amount of volt-amperes.

Abstract
A charging device includes a power conditioning device configured to be coupled to an electric power source by an electrical distribution bus. The power conditioning device is further configured to receive alternating current (AC) volt-amperes from the electric power source, convert a first amount of the AC volt-amperes received into direct current (DC) power, and supply the DC power to at least one load. The charging device also includes a controller coupled to the power conditioning device. The controller is configured to determine a second amount of volt-amperes that the charging device has a capacity to supply in addition to the DC power supplied, and control the power conditioning device to supply volt-amperes reactive to the electrical distribution bus using at least a portion of the second amount of volt-amperes.
