Portal for harvesting energy from distributed electrical power sources

This invention describes a modular system for collecting electricity from various power sources, like solar panels or batteries. It uses special modules to convert different incoming power types into a standard direct current (DC), which is then converted to alternating current (AC) for local use or the main power grid. The claims narrow this to a system designed to handle at least two different power sources simultaneously.

Why it matters: Since 2010, the widespread adoption of diverse distributed energy sources has driven significant advancements in power electronics and grid integration controls. This makes the modular approach to efficiently combine various sources and manage grid synchronization, including islanding, more feasible and cost-effective.
