Energy storage system and method of controlling the same

This invention describes a system that manages electricity from a power source, a battery, and the main grid to power a home or business. A smart controller decides the best way to operate by checking if the grid is available, if the power source is generating electricity, and how much charge the battery has. For example, it might compare the power being generated with what's needed by the load or to charge the battery to pick the right operating mode.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread commercialization of high-density, lower-cost batteries and the significant push for distributed renewable energy. Advances in power electronics and control algorithms since 2011 make sophisticated energy management systems more efficient and economically viable.
