Self Charging Solar Phone (SCSP)
20230037769 · 2023-02-09 ·

SCSP is a basic mobile phone with added feature . . . SOLAR CHARGING MODE. For when needing or wanting to charge device during daylight hours. Eliminates having to use “already existing” built-in charging port when no source of electrical power is available or nearby. Example use: When enjoying out-door activities such as fishing, hiking, exercising or just normal everyday device use. Also convenient when out with family and/or friends at an Amusement Park, Zoo, Baseball game or at the Beach; things of that nature. Device will have same normal functions, power ON/OFF button, volume UP/DOWN buttons, “Bixby button” (optional). Headphone port, charging port “for night-time use”. Reset port, and S-Pen “stylus pen” (optional). Camera(s), light, fingerprint sensor and speakerphone. Added feature will be the solar screen/glass/film built-in on the front and back of device. Included is Safety Automatic “shut-off” built-in so device will not over charge, and is Water Proof. How to operate Solar Charge/Charging is either by touch screen “just like turning on/off flashlight on phone” and a ON/OFF solar charge button located directly underneath device ON/OFF button that can be pressed and Solar Charge option will be displayed on device “front” screen. I Ramon Flores Jr. claim to be the inventor of the SCSP (Self Charging Solar Phone).

Managing off-grid energy generation and storage
11710964 · 2023-07-25 · ·

Techniques for managing an off-grid power system include executing update requests for an off-grid power system that is communicably coupled to an energy management system by determining an amount of stored energy in energy storage devices in response to at least one update request, determining an amount of electrical power generatable by renewable energy power systems in response to another update request, determining a predicted reliability of at least a portion of the energy storage devices and the renewable energy power systems in response to another update request, and determining an amount of electrical power for a remote facility that is electrically coupled to the off-grid power system in response to another update request. The techniques further include determining a control command for the off-grid power system based on the responses to the update requests; and providing the control command to the off-grid power system to adjust an operation of at least one of the energy storage devices or the renewable energy power systems.

Method for implementing power delivery transaction for potential electrical output of integrated renewable energy source and energy storage system facility

Methods for implementing power delivery transactions between a buyer and a seller of electrical energy supplied to an electrical grid by an integrated renewable energy source (RES) and energy storage system (ESS) of a RES-ESS facility are provided. Estimated total potential output of the RES is compared to a point of grid interconnect (POGI) limit to identify potential RES overgeneration, and the buyer is charged if potential RES overgeneration is less than potential overgeneration during one or more retrospective time windows. The method provides a basis for the RES-ESS facility owner to be paid for an estimated amount of energy that did not get stored as a result of a grid operator not fully discharging an ESS prior to the start of a new day.

Floating solar collector electromagnetic couplers
11565778 · 2023-01-31 ·

The present disclosure relates generally to electromagnetic coupling modules employed along the outer periphery of floating solar collector pods that can be introduced onto the surface of a body of water that operate to automatically connect to one another so that proximate pods form a reversible self-assembled physically and electrically coupled array that operate to harvest incident solar radiation and also operate to reduce the degree of evaporative water loss from that body of water. Electromagnetic coupling modules are disclosed featuring normally open electrical connection elements that permit electronic coupling under magnetic attraction for improved electrical safety. Electromagnetic coupling modules are disclosed that are gimbaled to provide for increase flexibility and interconnectivity under angular displacement, such as when a floating solar pod array is subject to strong current, wind and wave forces.
