USPTO Patent Granted for Power Supply System
Summary
The USPTO has granted patent US12587016B2 for a power supply system developed by PRIME PLANET ENERGY & SOLUTIONS, INC. The patent covers a system that manages power generation from solar sources, storage, and distribution to loads, with specific controls for maintaining a standard power storage amount.
What changed
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted patent US12587016B2 to PRIME PLANET ENERGY & SOLUTIONS, INC. The patent, titled "Power supply system, non-transitory computer readable medium, and power management method," details a system designed to optimize power management from solar generation. Key features include a solar light power generation device, a power storage apparatus, and a charge/discharge device. A notable aspect is the inclusion of a setter and controller that manages the power storage apparatus to maintain a standard power storage amount, which is less than its fully charged capacity, thereby optimizing charge and discharge cycles.
This patent grant signifies a new technological development in the field of power supply systems, particularly those integrating renewable energy sources and energy storage. While this is a patent grant and not a regulatory rule, it may influence future product development and industry standards for solar power management systems. Companies involved in manufacturing or developing similar technologies should be aware of this granted patent, as it could impact their intellectual property landscape and product design strategies. No immediate compliance actions are required for regulated entities, but ongoing monitoring of patent filings in this sector is advisable.

Abstract
A power supply system includes a solar light power generation device; a power storage apparatus; a charge/discharge device connected with the solar light power generation device and the power storage apparatus and connectable with power loads, the charge/discharge device storing power generated by the solar light power generation device on the power storage apparatus and discharging the power stored on the power storage apparatus to the power loads; a first setter setting a standard power storage amount as an amount of power to be stored on the power storage apparatus, the standard power storage amount being smaller than a power storage amount thereof in a fully charged state; and a first charge/discharge controller controlling the charge/discharge device to store the power generated by the solar light power generation device on the power storage apparatus at a level of the standard power storage amount or smaller.
