A method is provided. An airship is maneuvered to a desired location and oriented with the thruster such that ambient wind is traveling in a direction that is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fuselage. The airflow from the ambient wind is straightened with the flow straightener to generate a substantially laminar flow. The turbine is engaged with the airflow generated by the ambient wind to generate electricity, and the electricity generated by the turbine is rectified with the rectifier and stored in the storage array.

The present disclosure relates to a maritime communication system based on low earth orbit satellites and an unmanned aerial vehicle. The maritime communication system according to one embodiment may include one or more maritime users, one or more satellites connected to a network operator, and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for relaying communication between the maritime users and the satellites.

Example bidirectional energy transmission apparatus and methods are described. An example of a bidirectional energy transmission apparatus includes a controller and a bidirectional energy transmission circuit. A control terminal of the controller is connected to a controlled terminal of the bidirectional energy transmission circuit. In the example, the controller is configured to control the bidirectional energy transmission circuit to be in a rectification working state, so as to convert, into a first direct current voltage, a three-phase or single-phase alternating current voltage that is input from a first port of the bidirectional energy transmission circuit, and output the first direct current voltage from a second port of the bidirectional energy transmission circuit. The controller is configured to control the bidirectional energy transmission circuit to be in an inversion working state, so as to convert, into a three-phase or single-phase alternating current voltage.

A mobile charging station for a high voltage electric vehicle including a mobile vehicle for transporting charging apparatus. The charging apparatus includes an electric energy source for providing electricity, a circuit for converting the energy source electricity to a specific voltage range required by the electric vehicle to be charged and at least one connector engageable with a charging connector on the electric vehicle to be charged. The mobile charging station may be driven to the location of the electric vehicle. A vehicle charge may be initiated by a communication sent from a cellular device or a mobile communication device. The mobile charging station may include a remote command center capable of receiving communication from a consumer and remotely initiating a service call to the consumer or an automatic battery health and safety check system to ensure the battery is not leaking, or over heated to prevent vehicle fire.

A method includes receiving an energy transfer mode input identifying a selected energy transfer mode for the first vehicle, and receiving a total energy request input identifying a value of total requested energy associated with the selected energy transfer mode for the first vehicle. The operations also include receiving a first power transfer limit input including a first power transfer limit value associated with the selected energy transfer mode for the first vehicle, and receiving a second power transfer limit input including a second power transfer limit value associated with the selected energy transfer mode for the first vehicle. The operations also include selecting a power transfer limit from the lesser of the first power transfer limit value and the second power transfer limit value, and initiating a power transfer between the first vehicle and the second vehicle at the selected power transfer limit.

An ECU acquires history information on whether there is an experience of external power supply by a vehicle, and the ECU determines whether a user of the vehicle has experienced the external power supply, based on the history information. In a case where the ECU determines that the user has not experienced the external power supply of the vehicle, the ECU outputs recommendation information that recommends the user to experience the external power supply of the vehicle.
