HYBRID POWER SOURCE LIGHTING AND ENERGY SYSTEM FOR OPERATION IN HARSH AND/OR REMOTE LOCATIONS Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC H02J9/00 H02J7/34 

FIELD: electrical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: mobile hybrid lighting system contains: control system having at least one controller; at least one system of luminaires, supported by a mast during operation and functionally connected to a control system; internal combustion engine (ICE) that has an energy generator and is functionally connected to a control system and an energy generator for generating electric power; battery pack operatively associated with a control system for storing electric power from the ICE and providing battery power, the control system having means: a) monitoring the current charge state (CS) of said battery pack; b) inclusion of ICE for power generation, when the current CS is below the lower threshold of the CS or based on the start time programmed by the operator; c) turning off the ICE when the current CS exceeds the upper threshold of the CS or after the period of work programmed by the operator; d) using the energy of the ICE to charge the battery pack between the lower and upper thresholds of the CS or the operating periods programmed by the operator; and e) using the energy of ICE or batteries in the luminaire system, wherein the control system is configured to control the charging of the battery pack by the ICE using a battery charging algorithm, in which the upper and lower thresholds of the CS are within the active charging stage of the battery pack, so that the battery charging algorithm provides charging of the battery pack only within the active charging stage of the battery pack.

EFFECT: technical result is an increase in the efficiency and reliability of operation of the plant in unfavorable, remote and/or high-latitude conditions while maintaining and improving operational capabilities and significantly reducing operator intervention during deployment and operation.
