Packeted Energy Delivery Architecture for Intelligent Power Distribution (Packeted Energy Delivery System and Methods, Tech ID: 12‑042)
Technology Overview: This introduces a packet‑based energy delivery system in which electrical energy is discretized and transmitted as controllable packets rather than continuous flow. Inspired by data packet switching in communication networks, the system enables precise routing, timing, and prioritization of energy delivery. This architecture improves efficiency, resiliency, and control in complex electrical systems, particularly in environments with variable loads, distributed generation, or storage integration.
Industry Pain Point: Traditional power delivery systems lack fine‑grained control, limiting flexibility in smart grids and distributed energy systems.
NJIT Solution: Packeted energy delivery offers intelligent, software‑defined control of power flow, enhancing efficiency and system resilience.
