Abstract

The system may include a mobile platform. The system may include an input power bus carried by the mobile platform. The system may include a set of base power units attached to the input power bus for receiving power from an external power source. The system may include a set of portable power units removable attached to the input power bus for receiving power from the external power source; and the system may include a power out bus connected to the set of base power units and the set of portable power units adapted to receive power from the set of base power units and the set of portable power units.

Claims (34)

1 . A modular power system comprising:

a mobile platform;

an input power bus carried by the mobile platform;

a set of base power units attached to the input power bus for receiving power from an external power source;

a set of portable power units removable attached to the input power bus for receiving power from the external power source; and,

a power out bus connected to the set of base power units and the set of portable power units adapted to receive power from the set of base power units and the set of portable power units.

2 . The modular power system of claim 1 including a port panel carried by the mobile platform and in electrical communications with the power out bus wherein the port panel is adapted to be in electrical communication with a load to deliver power from the power out bus to the load.

3 . The modular power system of claim 2 including a controller adapted to control a delivery of power to the port panel.

4 . The modular power system of claim 2 including an output controller connected to the port panel and adapted to receive charge requirements from the load, retrieve from a device lookup table included in in the output controller a load type having charge specifications, and delivering power to the load according to the charge specifications.

5 . The modular power system of claim 1 wherein the external power source is a set of batteries configured to provide power to a set of base power units.

6 . The modular power system of claim 5 where in the set of batteries include a portable power unit removable from the set of batteries.

7 . The modular power system of claim 1 wherein the external power source is taken from a group consisting of a solar panel, a thermoelectric device, a capacitor and any combination.

8 . The modular power system of claim 1 including an inverter adapted to modify a frequency of a voltage output.

9 . The modular power system of claim 1 including a DC to AC converter configured to convert power from the set of base power units to AC power delivered to a load.

10 . The modular power system of claim 1 wherein the external power source includes a set of solar panels having a removed position, a retracted position and a deployed position.

11 . A modular power system comprising:

a mobile platform;

a set of base power units carried by the mobile platform and adapted to receive power from a power source;

a set of portable power units removable carried by the mobile platform adapted to receive power from the set of base power units;

an input controller configured to control power from the set of base power units to the set of portable power units; and,

an output controller configured to receive power from the set of base power units and the set of portable power units and deliver the power to a load.

12 . The modular power system of claim 11 including a portable power unit removably connected to the output controller and for receiving power from the set of base power units.

13 . The modular power system of claim 11 wherein the output controller is adapted to be a user selectable power output.

14 . The modular power system of claim 11 wherein the power source includes a set of solar panels having a removed position, a retracted position and a deployed position.

15 . A modular power system comprising:

a platform;

a set of base power units carried by the platform and in electrical communications with a power source for receiving power from the power source to store the power received from the power source;

a set of portable power units removable connected to the set of base power units and adapted to revive power from the set of base power units; and,

a port panel in electrical communications with the set of base power units and the set of portable power units and adapted to connect to a load to deliver power from the set of base power units and the set of portable power units to the load.

16 . The modular power system of claim 15 including an output controller connected to the set of base power units having output computer readable instructions adapted to receive charge requirements from a load connected to the output controller, retrieving from a device lookup table included in the output controller a load type having charge specifications, and delivering power to the load according to the charge specifications.

17 . The modular power system of claim 15 including an inverter adapted to convert the power stored on the set of base power units from DC to AC.

18 . The modular power system of claim 15 including an inverter adapted to modify a frequency of the power provided.

19 . The modular power system of claim 15 wherein the set of base power units is taken from a group consisting of a battery, capacitor and both.

20 . The modular power system of claim 11 wherein the power source includes a set of solar panels having a removed position, a retracted position and a deployed position.
