INTELLIGENT RELAY-BASED LOAD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH MACHINE LEARNING OPTIMIZATION AND MOBILE APPLICATION CONTROL FOR BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS
A load management system integrates comparator-based neutral sensing, machine learning prediction, and relay control into a single integrated AC board requiring no additional wiring. A highspeed comparator circuit detects grid failures in sub millisecond timeframes, providing clean data to a temporal convolutional network that predicts load requirements 24 hours in advance with integration of external data sources such as weather and time of use pricing. The system automatically manages 120V and 240V circuits during grid transitions, learning from user override patterns to continuously improve performance. A mobile application provides real-time monitoring and control. The integration of low-latency sensing with predictive machine learning enables performance improvements exceeding 40% in battery runtime compared to conventional systems, while reducing installation time and cost.
