Title: Methods of managing the power requirements of off-grid assemblies and off-grid assemblies employing such
Inventor: MICHAEL GUY FARAM
IPC: H02J7/34
Filed: 2020-09-22
Abstract: An off-grid floodlight assembly 30 may be powered by energy storage means 32 supplied by photovoltaic cells 31. The assembly is managed by determining the current state of charge (SOC) of the energy storage means by either i) observing a stabilisation period following a change in charge supply or charge demand and then measuring the energy storage means voltage and load power, or ii) using the difference between charge input and output of the energy storage means (coulomb counting). Power requirement for operating the floodlight over a period, such as night time, is calculated and rationed according to the available power, by varying the brightness. Information on historical usage, dawn/dusk times, historical solar irradiance data, weather forecasts, and other sources is used to modulate the power supplied to the floodlight.
