Abstract:
An apparatus and method for aggregating and supplying energy includes a plurality of power modules for inverting a first type of electrical power, which is supplied to the power modules from multiple sources of power, to a second type of electrical power at an output of the power modules for delivery of the inverted power to a storage device for future use, or to an electrical load, or to a regional or central utility grid. A microcontroller (the “power microcontroller”) is carried by and incorporated within each of the power modules and each is configured for controlling the power inversion operations. The power microcontrollers are configured for generating, from each of the plurality of power modules, controlled pulses of charge and discharge for increasing storage capacity of the energy storage device. A control module is also connected with the plurality of power modules. A microcontroller (the “control microcontroller”) carried by the control module is configured for monitoring voltage levels within the at least one energy storage device and for rebalancing voltage within the energy storage device and for correcting lead and lag power factor. Sensors are positioned in contact with the energy storage device continually sensing its voltage levels and are in communication with the control microcontroller for supplying sensed data thereto. Means for selectively supplying power received from said multiple disparate sources of power to said destination.

Claim (Index 22):
