Abstract

An electric power supply arrangement has a connection to mains power source 12 and one or more battery power source 10. Control means are provided to determine which power source is connected to a consuming device. The battery may be charged from one or more generating sources, such as a solar panel 24, wind turbine 26, or a bicycle training machine 28. The battery may be removable so that it can be used to power a light in a caravan, for example. A monitoring arrangement including a computer 32 is also provided which may monitor the duration and times that the battery 10 or mains 12 has been supplying power, the amount of power supplied by the mains 12, the amount of power supplied to or from the battery 10, and the battery 10 state of charge. The computer 32 may be used to give warnings or low battery charge, allow battery supply only when battery charge is above a certain threshold, operate switches 14, 16 to select the power source, cause mains charging of the battery, and other automatic controls.

Description

Power Supply The present invention relates to a power supply arrangement and a method of supplying power. The invention is particularly, although not exclusively, applicable to supplying power to domestic appliances.
The present invention is defined in the claims and elsewhere in the specification.
The present invention can be carried into practice in various ways but several embodiments will now be described by way of example and with reference to Figure 1 which is a schematic diagram of a power supply arrangement.
The power supply can be supplied from a power storage device such as a battery 10 or from a mains supply 12. A switch 14 selectively connects or disconnects the power from the battery supply and a switch 16 connects or disconnects the mains supply.
The power supply arrangement can be used to power any power consuming device such as the television 18 shown in the drawing. The television 18 includes a plug 20 that can be connected to a socket (not shown) on a casing 22 housing the battery. Alternative power consuming devices can be plugged into that socket. Alternatively the housing may include a plurality of sockets such that more than one power consuming device can be powered by the battery or mains supply at any one time.
The battery 10 can be charged from a single generator or from more than one generator and more than one generator may supply power to the battery at the same time. In the arrangement shown the generators comprise a solar panel 24, a wind turbine 26 and an output from a bicycle training machine 28. The battery may be remote from the or each generator such as by being in a separate room or with the battery being indoors and the generator outdoors. The battery can be a lead acid 12V battery such as is used in a car battery or alternatively, a deep cycle type battery such as an absorbed glass mat battery (AGM).
With the switch 16 in a connected position and with the switch 14 in the disconnected position the television 18 is powered from the mains supply 12.
With the switch 1 6 in the disconnected position and the switch 14 in the connected position the television 18 is powered from the battery with the power from the battery passing through an invertor 30. In an alternative arrangement (not shown) two batteries may be provided each of which is able to receive power from at least one generator and each of which can be used to power the television with such power being controlled by a common switch 14 or with separate switches being used to control which battery supplies power with the possibility of either or both batteries being able to supply power at the same time.
In a further alternative a battery such as the battery 10 shown, can be charged and then removed in order to use the power in the battery elsewhere, such as to power a light in a caravan.
The power supply arrangement also includes a computer 32 that is able to monitor the arrangement and/or control the arrangement.
The computer 32 is able to monitor any one or more of the following events: * the duration that the battery and/or mains has been supplying power * the times that the battery and/or mains has been supplying power * the power that has been supplied by the battery and/or mains * the power that has been supplied to the battery * the state of charge of the battery The computer may be able to effect any one or more of the following controls: * giving a warning when the battery charge falls below a predetermined level * preventing power being able to be supplied by the battery, for instance: -when the battery charge is below a predetermined level and/or -during certain periods such as the period when the solar panel is charging the battery and/or -when a power consuming device is on standby which could slowly drain the battery * permitting the commencement of power being supplied from the battery only when the battery is above a predetermined level of charge * operating the switches 14 and 16 to determine which power supply will be used for the consuming device causing the mains power supply to charge the battery permitting power to be supplied only fro the mains supply or the battery supply at any one time.
Any one or more of the controls may be arranged to be effected automatically.
Attention is directed to all papers and documents which are filed concurrently with or previous to this specification in connection with this application and which are open to public inspection with this specification, and the contents of all such papers and documents are incorporated herein by reference.
All of the features disclosed in this specification (including any accompanying claims, abstract and drawings), and/or all of the steps of any method or process so disclosed, may be combined in any combination, except combinations where at least some of such features and/or steps are mutually exclusive.
Each feature disclosed in this specification (including any accompanying claims, abstract and drawings) may be replaced by alternative features serving the same, equivalent or similar purpose, unless expressly stated otherwise. Thus, unless expressly stated otherwise, each feature disclosed is one example only of a generic series of equivalent or similar features.
The invention is not restricted to the details of the foregoing embodiment(s). The invention extends to any novel one, or any novel combination, of the features disclosed in this specification (including any accompanying claims, abstract and drawings), or to any novel one, or any novel combination, of the steps of any method or process so disclosed.
