Abstract

The method for dynamic and forward management of the recharging of batteries with electric power includes retrieving at least one data record relating to a previous recharging of each battery in the form of a recharging time extending from a time of beginning of the power supply to a time of ending of the power supply. The method also includes determining a forward duration of recharging of each battery from a forward time of beginning of power supply to a forward time of ending of the supply and determining a schedule for recharging while sequencing the forward times of recharging determined for each battery. The durations follow each other and overlap at least partially over time, while applying each forward duration to the recharging, from forward time of beginning of power supply to forward time of ending of power supply.

Claims

1. Method for dynamic and forward management of recharging of batteries with electric power, wherein a plurality of vehicles belongs to a user, each vehicle being provided with at least one rechargeable battery, wherein an identification means is at a level of one single power-supply point when recharging, and wherein the battery is electrically connected to the power-supply point for recharging, the method comprising the steps of:

retrieving at least one data record relating to a previous recharging of each battery, the data record comprising a recharging time extending from a time of beginning of a power supply to a time of ending of a power supply;

based on processing of said data record, determining a forward duration of recharging of each battery from a forward time of beginning of power supply to a forward time of ending of the supply; and

determining a schedule for recharging cars while sequencing forward times of recharging determined for each battery, wherein durations follow each other and overlap at least partially over time, while applying each forward duration to recharging of each vehicle, from a respective forward time of beginning of power supply, becoming an actual time of beginning of power supply, to respective forward time of ending of power supply.

2. Management method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of:

sequencing of said schedule by calculating electric powers required for recharging each battery over respective forward duration of recharging, a combination of said powers remaining below nominal power of said power-supply point.

3. Management method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of:

defining a time of ending of power supply after a predefined period of time after said battery stops consuming electric power, when recharging a battery.

4. Management method according to claim 1, wherein the identification means is comprised of authentication relating to personal information with said data record.
