The power supply system includes a controller for controlling at least one of a corresponding one of the power supply units or the power conversion device based on communication information obtained by communication between the corresponding one of the power supply units or the power conversion device.

A control integrated structure of an electrically assisted bicycle includes a battery management system, a controller and a motor. The battery management system includes a battery assembly and an analog front end. The analog front end is electrically connected to the battery assembly. The controller includes a micro controller unit and a driver. The micro controller unit is electrically connected to the analog front end. The driver is electrically connected to the micro controller unit. The motor is electrically connected to the driver and controlled by the driver. The micro controller unit of the controller is directly electrically connected between the analog front end of the battery management system and the driver, thereby enabling the micro controller unit to control the motor via the driver.

A vehicle includes a power storage device, a discharging port, a power conversion circuit, and a controller. The discharging port includes a first output terminal, a second output terminal and a ground terminal. Each of the first output terminal and the second output terminal is not grounded to a body of the vehicle. The controller is configured to obtain a requested voltage value of a discharging connector connected to the discharging port.

In some examples, an electrical power system includes a power source and a load modulator configured to receive power from the power source and to deliver power to a load zone. The electrical power system also includes a controller configured to determine a software-controlled power flow limit for the load zone. The controller is further configured to receive information indicating the power delivered to the load zone and to cause the power delivered to the load zone to remain below the software-controlled power flow limit.

A power distribution system includes a plurality of power distribution modules connected to at least one power supply and configured to receive power therefrom. A power distribution bus connects the power distribution modules of the plurality of power distribution modules in parallel. The plurality of power distribution modules executes a distributed system policy management protocol over the power distribution bus to control a supply of available power from the at least one power supply to loads connected to USB charging ports of the power distribution modules.

A power control method for a charging system includes: detecting a power signal and an input voltage of the power signal; determining a charging protocol supported by the power signal; and determining whether to conduct a power switching circuit or not according to the input voltage of the power signal and the charging protocol supported by the power signal to provide power for an amplifier chip of the charging system.

In a power supply device, switching section switch a connection between batteries to a series connection or a parallel connection. In a case where the connection between the batteries is switched from the series connection to the parallel connection to charge the batteries by an external charger, a controller does not switch the connection to the parallel connection, does not charge one battery having a larger voltage out of the batteries, and separately charges the other battery when a potential difference between a voltage of the battery and a voltage of the battery is a predetermined threshold value or higher; and the controller switches the connection to the parallel connection and charges the batteries when the potential difference is lower than the threshold value.
