Abstract

Provided is a generator access system for household energy storage. The generator access system for household energy storage includes an automatic transfer switch (ATS), an energy gateway, an energy storage system, and a load access switching module. The energy gateway is connected to the automatic transfer switch (ATS) and the automatic transfer switch (ATS) is further connected to a generator. The automatic transfer switch (ATS) is configured to control coupling of the energy gateway and the generator and decoupling of the generator from the energy gateway; the energy storage system is connected to the energy gateway and includes at least one energy storage module configured to store electrical energy. The load access switching module is connected to the energy gateway and configured to control a number of connected loads.

Claims (45)

1. A generator access system for household energy storage, comprising:

an automatic transfer switch (ATS);

an energy gateway;

an energy storage system; and

a load access switching module,

wherein:

the energy gateway is connected to the automatic transfer switch (ATS) and the automatic transfer switch (ATS) is further connected to a generator;

the automatic transfer switch (ATS) is configured to control coupling of the energy gateway and the generator and decoupling of the generator from the energy gateway;

the energy storage system is connected to the energy gateway and comprises at least one energy storage module configured to store electrical energy; and

the load access switching module is connected to the energy gateway and configured to control a number of connected loads.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the energy gateway comprises:

a bus and a switch coupled to the bus,

wherein the switch is configured to control:

a coupling of the energy gateway with a grid and

a decoupling of the grid from the energy gateway.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the energy gateway further comprises:

a circuit breaker, wherein

a first terminal of the circuit breaker is connected to the switch, and

a second terminal of the circuit breaker is connected to the grid.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the energy gateway comprises:

a bus and a switch coupled to the bus,

wherein the switch is configured to control:

a coupling of the energy gateway with the generator and

a decoupling of the generator from the energy gateway.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the energy gateway further comprises:

a circuit breaker, wherein

a first terminal of the circuit breaker is connected to the switch, and

a second terminal of the circuit breaker is connected to an L terminal of the automatic transfer switch (ATS).

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the energy gateway comprises:

a bus and a switch coupled to the bus,

wherein the switch is configured to control:

a coupling of the energy gateway with photovoltaics and

a decoupling of the photovoltaics from the energy gateway.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the energy gateway further comprises:

a circuit breaker, wherein

a first terminal of the circuit breaker is connected to the switch, and

a second terminal of the circuit breaker is connected to the photovoltaics.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the energy gateway comprises:

a bus, a first switch and a second switch, wherein

a first terminal of the first switch and a first terminal of the second switch are coupled to the bus, and

a second terminal of the first switch and a second terminal of the second switch are coupled to a G terminal of the automatic transfer switch (ATS).

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the energy gateway further comprises:

a circuit breaker, wherein a first terminal of the circuit breaker is coupled to the bus, and

a second terminal of the circuit breaker is coupled to the energy storage system.

10. The system of claim 2 , wherein the load access switching module is coupled to the bus or coupled to the grid.
