According to another embodiment, two-way communication can be used to establish redundancy within the system architecture 400. When the capability asset with the system architecture 400 is deactivated or disabled, the communication can be used

<p dir="rtl">20 Bidirectional to alert other power assets within the system structure 400 that have caused a disruption or inoperability. For example, a power asset may reveal that the failed power asset is no longer connected. The power asset may then, via two-way communication, alert other power assets within the system structure 400 in which the misfire has occurred, allowing other power assets to compensate for the misfire.</p>

For example, the power output from the 204 photovoltaic solar panels may be fed to five maximum power point trackers (MPPTs) within layer 3 of the system architecture 400 that received the power profile segment from the 306 MCU. To regulate the current to 50 amps, for example 5, to charge the batteries within the power stores 218 to supply 50 amps to the batteries, for example

For example, each of the five MPPTs might produce 10A to the batteries. If one of the five MPPTs malfunctions, other power assets within the system may, via bidirectional communication in the system architecture 400, alert the other four MPPTs that the malfunction occurred. In response to the alert, the other four MPPTs may change their power profiles to output 12.5 10A each to save 50A for the batteries, for example.

Figure 6 is a diagram showing the data telegram 600, according to an embodiment. In an embodiment, the data telegram 600 may include blocks 602, 604, 606 and 608. Block 602 may include timing bits or a timing word. The synchronization bits may include data indicating the end of the message information and the beginning of the data, or frame, of the data telegram 600.

<p dir="rtl">15 Depending on the embodiment, block 604 may include bytes of the target type. May include bytes</p>

of data target type Indicates the type of capability asset for which the data telegram is intended. For example, the MCU 306 may send a data telegram 600 to give a command to the layer 2 MPPTs to change their power side strip to control the PV solar panel current 204 and 10A output. In this case, the block 604 of the data telegram 600 may include modules

<p dir="rtl">20 Target-type byte containing data indicating that the data cable is destined for Layer 2 MPPTs.</p>

In an embodiment, block 606 may include data bytes. Data bytes may include data that references commands to capability assets. These commands may include changes to the ability profile sector, request responses, activation/deactivation requests, or any combination thereof - but are not limited to 25. For example, a 306 MCU may send a 600 data telegram

To command the second layer MPPTs to change their power profile to control the current in 204 photovoltaic solar panels and the output is at 10 amps. In this case, block 606 of the data telegram 600data telegram may include a data byte including data indicating a change in the power profiles for solar photovoltaic panel current control 204 5 and the output at 10 amps.

According to one embodiment, block 608 may include a plurality of objectives to be answered. The requested answer may be status information, power definition profile information, connection information, or any combination thereof - but not limited to. For example, the MCU 306 may send a data telegram 600 to command the Layer 2 MPPTs to change their 10-power profile to control the current from the photovoltaic solar panels 204 and the output.

At 10 amps, the five MPPTs are asked to respond to Layer 2 with status information. In this case, block 608 may include information indicating that the five MPPTs will respond with an answer to the status information.

Figure 7 is a flowchart illustrating a process for transmitting a data telegram in System 15 architecture 400, according to an embodiment.

At block 702, an analog data telegram is generated by the MCU 306. For example, the MCU 306 may construct a data telegram to command the second layer MPPTs to change their power profile so as to control the PV solar panel current 204 and output at 10A and five answers with status information. In this case, a data telegram will be generated with 20 block 604 containing data indicating that the data telegram is destined for layer MPPTs

Second, block 606 includes data indicating a change in the power profiles to control the current from the PV solar panel 204, block 608 includes information indicating that the five MPPTs are responding with an answer with status information.

At block 704, the data telegram is sent to the next layer of data structure 400 over the first communication path. For example, the MCU 306 may send a data telegram to Layer 2 power assets over the first communication path.

At block 706, the power assets that received the data telegram over the first communication path determine whether

<p dir="rtl">5 The data type of the target in the data telegram matched the type of the capability asset that received the data telegram. For example, the Layer 2 power assets may receive a datagram that includes instructions that the Layer 2 MPPTs change their power profile to control photovoltaic solar panels 204 photovoltaic panels current and output at 10 A and that the five Layer 2 MPPTs respond with status information. Then, each capacity asset will be identified</p>

<p dir="rtl">10 The second layer is whether that origin matches the target type of the data cable. In this case, only assets that are MPPTs will determine that they match the target type.</p>

If the capability origin determines that it does not match the target type of the data telegram, then the system will duplicate block 704 and send the data telegram to the next layer over the first communication path. If the capability origin determines that it matches the target type of the data cable, then the system will be moved to block 708.

<p dir="rtl">15 At block 708, the power assets that matched the target type determine whether the number of assets indicated by the data telegram has been met. For example, the Layer 2 power assets may receive a data telegram that includes instructions to the Layer 2 MPPTs to change their power bypass so as to control the solar photovoltaic panel current 204 and output at 10 A and that the five Layer 2 MPPTs respond to status information. Each asset will be identified</p>

<p dir="rtl">20 The second layer power may correspond to the target type whether the five MPPTs have already responded to the data cable. This may be determined by the power origin based on its position in the system architecture 400 .</p>

If the power origin determines that the origin count has been met, then the system will duplicate the block 704 and send the data telegram to the next layer over the first communication path. If a capacity asset determines that the number of assets is not met, then the system will be moved to block 710.

At block 710, capability assets that have matched the target type and identified the number of unmet targets conduct operations based on the data telegram. For example, Layer 2 power assets may receive a data stream that includes instructions for Layer 2 MPPTs to change their power bypass to control the current of 204 photovoltaic solar panels.

<p dir="rtl">5 The output is 10 amps and the five MPPTs in the second layer can respond to status information. In this case, the power assets that matched the target type and identified the number of targets that were not met will change their power side strip to control the solar photovoltaic panel current 204 and output at 10 V.</p>

At block 712, the power asset that performed operations based on block 606 of the 10 data cable sends a response, via the second communication path, to the MCU 308. For example, Layer 2 power assets may receive a data telegram that includes instructions for the Layer 2 MPPTs to change their power bypass to control the current in the photovoltaic solar panels and the output at 10 amps, and the five Layer 2 MPPTs can respond with status information. . In this case, the 15 capability assets that performed operations based on block 606 send a data telegram, a response, via the

The second connection, to the 308 MCU which includes status information. The system then duplicates block 704 and sends the data telegram to the next layer over the first communication path.
