Peer-to-peer transaction-based power supply methods and systems

摘要

A peer-to-peer approach is used for the transfer of electrical power between devices (10,30). A communications link (24) is used for negotiation of the details of a desired power-supply transaction between a power-supplying device and a power-receiving device and, when the transaction details are settled, a power supply link (23) is used for implementing the agreed transfer of power.
