Abstract:
Various implementations described herein are directed to systems, apparatuses and methods for operating stand-alone power systems. The systems may include power generators (e.g., photovoltaic generators and/or wind turbines), storage devices (e.g., batteries and/or flywheels), power modules (e.g., power converters) and loads. The methods may include various methods for monitoring, determining, controlling and/or predicting system power generation, system power storage and system power consumption.

Claim (Index 16):
A method for a direct current (DC) power system, the DC power system having a plurality of DC power sources, a plurality of DC power modules, a plurality of bi-directional power modules and a plurality of storage devices, the method comprising:\n coupling each of the DC power sources to a respective DC power module; coupling the DC power modules in series, forming at least one serial string of DC power modules; coupling the at least one serial string to a load; coupling the at least one serial string to the bi-directional power modules; coupling each of the bi-directional power modules to a respective storage device; measuring power of the DC power sources; upon the measuring being above a threshold level, transmitting a signal to the DC power modules and the bi-directional power modules; and controlling the supply of power to a load responsive to the measuring.
