MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641051467 A) filed by Srm University, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, on April 22, for 'a method for energy management in a photovoltaic (pv) fuel cell battery-based direct current microgrid.'
Inventor(s) include Dasari, Sai Ram Surya Lakshmi Avanthika; Udumula, Ramanjaneya Reddy; and Bhamidi, Lokeshgupta.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure envisages a method (100) for energy management in a photovoltaic (PV) fuel cell battery-based direct current microgrid. The sensing module (208) measures respective voltages and currents within said DC microgrid, and generates analogue measurement data. The State of Charge estimation module (SoC module) (210) receives the measurement value. The Coulomb counting submodule (210a) converts each measured battery current over a discrete time interval into a charge quantity by multiplying the current by the time interval. The EM module (212) then generates and transmits a first control signal to inhibit charging of the BESS (206) when the estimated SoC exceeds the upper threshold, or a second control signal to activate the FC (204) when the estimated SoC falls below the lower threshold, thereby regulating power flow to a load (216) within the PV fuel cell battery-based DC microgrid."
