Method for managing energy flow and freight transportation
A patent application (Publication Number: US20230377065A1) discloses a method and system for managing energy flow and freight transportation within a system comprising multiple mobile electric assets. The method involves receiving information about the geographic position and battery status of the assets, including self-propelled and non-self-propelled vehicles, and determining the electric energy requirement for fulfilling freight transport assignments. By analyzing this data, the system can assign routes and charging tasks to the mobile assets that meet the energy requirements and criteria of the transport assignments. The system aims to optimize battery cycling, consider real-time data, and factor in parameters like energy price and emissions for efficient operation.
The patent application also includes claims related to receiving real-time mobile asset information, utilizing a database with road route information, and optimizing battery cycling within the system. It further details the inclusion of various types of mobile assets such as trailers, containers, and different types of electric vehicles. The system's control unit is designed to handle the coordination of route assignments and charging tasks based on the energy requirements and transport assignment criteria. Additionally, the system considers factors like energy price and emissions when making charging assignments, aiming to create an efficient and environmentally conscious energy flow and freight transportation management system.
