Distributed charging of electrical assets

摘要

The present disclosure relates generally to the field of distributed charging of electrical assets. In various examples, distributed charging of electrical assets may be implemented in the form of systems, methods and/or algorithms.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented system for distributed charging of at least one electrical asset, wherein each electrical asset has associated therewith a plurality of discrete charging states, the system comprising:
a first remote computing element, wherein the first remote computing element is associated with a first one of the at least one electrical assets; and a first server computing element in operative communication with the first remote computing element; wherein the first server computing element is configured to send to the first remote computing element at least one incentive signal; wherein the first remote computing element is configured to calculate, based at least in part upon the incentive signal, a first charging profile; wherein the discrete charging states comprise: off; slow charge; and fast charge; wherein the incentive signal comprises: a success probability associated with the slow charge; a success probability associated with the fast charge; a tariff that the first one of the at least one electrical assets would be charged if the slow charge was chosen; and a tariff that the first one of the at least one electrical assets would be charged if the fast charge was chosen; and wherein the calculation of the first charging profile is a discrete calculation that is based at least in part upon the success probabilities and tariffs of the incentive signal.
