FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a power back up system for off road vehicle for providing power to remote locations such as home, field.
BACKGROUND & PRIOR ART OF THE INVENTION
The use of power backup systems as a means for providing limited amounts of AC electrical power for use in sites, in remote locations or mobile use where AC power is not otherwise available are well known. These inverters range in size and capacity from smaller inverters which will deliver a full load current of up to about 1.1 watts or 15 amps while drawing a no-load current of 0.5 amps up to systems which will provide in excess of 2000 watts at a DC current draw of about 200 amps from a d.c. electrical power storage source. A battery of a vehicle may typically be used to provide about 50-100 DC amps to such an inverter for shorter time periods without draining the storage battery excessively.
Now- a- days it is possible to power household appliances with a 12V inverter from vehicle RV battery. This is made possible by a simple device called a 12 volt inverter. The vehicle uses 12 volt direct current (VDC) electricity and the house appliances need 120 volt alternating current (VAC) power. A 12v Inverter essentially takes the power from the vehicle battery, step it up to 120 volts and convert it to AC electricity. Low voltage DC power is converted through an oscillator to an equal voltage of AC power. The low voltage AC power is then set at a frequency of 60 Hertz. It implies that, the polarity (positive and negative) is switched back and forth at 60 cycles per second creating either the 'modified square wave' or 'pure sine wave'. The transformer steps up that low voltage AC to the utility standard 120 or 240 volts.

The operating time for an appliance to run via battery-connected inverter power without the engine being on will vary by the amount of power drawn. Consider the various types of appliances that the driver may need or want to charge or operate in the truck.
Reference may be made to an article by Jasna Tomi6 and Willett Kempton, University of Delaware, Newark, USA, Journal of Power Sources; Volume 168, Issue 2, 1 Pages 459-468, June 2007. The article talks about using fleets of electric-drive vehicles for grid support. Electric-drive vehicles can provide power to the electric grid when they are parked (vehicle-to-grid power). We evaluated the economic potential of two utility-owned fleets of battery-electric vehicles to provide power for a specific electricity market, regulation, in four US regional regulation services markets. The two battery-electric fleet cases are: (a) 100 Think City vehicle and (b) 252 Toyota RAV4. Important variables are: (a) the market value of regulation services, (b) the power capacity (kW) of the electrical connections and wiring, and (c) the energy capacity (kWh) of the vehicle's battery. With a few exceptions when the annual market value of regulation was low, we find that vehicle-to-grid power for regulation services is profitable across all four markets analyzed. Assuming now more than current Level 2 charging infrastructure (6.6 kW) the annual net profit for the Think City fleet is from US$ 7000 to 70,000 providing regulation down only. For the RAV4 fleet the annual net profit ranges from US$ 24,000 to 260,000 providing regulation down and up. Vehicle-to-grid power could provide a significant revenue stream that would improve the economics of grid-connected electric-drive vehicles and further encourage their adoption. It would also improve the stability of the electrical grid.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS
Further objects and advantages of this invention will be more apparent from the ensuing description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and wherein:
Figure 1 shows the power backup system mounted on the offroad vehicle
Figure 1 A shows extended screw tightened on the vehicle body
Figure 2A and B shows gasket sealing over the power backup system
Figure 3 shows slidable cover according to the present invention Figure 4 shows power socket according to the present invention
DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION WITH REFERENCE TO THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS:
Reference may be made to figure 1, which shows the shock/ vibration proof backup power system for offroad vehicle according to the present invention. The power back up system is integrated to the off road vehicle such as but not limited to a tractor. It is a shock/ vibration proof power back up system with a mobile charger. It charges by dynamo, grid or any renewable power source such as but not limited to the solar or wind. The inverter housing has two main parts. The first part comprises circuit assembly and the second part comprises the transformer assembly. The said first part comprises the circuitry components which are sealed through the adhesive after soldering. The first part is on the top of the second part as shown in figure 1 which increases the ease in serviceability. The second part comprises transformer assembly which includes a transformer and gets fit onto the inverter body through the screws. The screw extends outward from the inverter body which gets tightened with the body of the tractor as shown in figure 1A. The inverter is mounted vertically on the tractor.
Thus the weight of the transformer is not on the body of the inverter instead it is on the tractor body. The position of the transformer is at the centre of gravity of the inverter so the weight of the transformer is negligible. During faulty condition, there is no need to replace/ open the whole inverter. As it is mounted vertical, and only top part comprises the circuitry, the service engineer needs to open the first part without detaching the whole inverter. The whole body has a gasket sealing as shown in figure 2 A and 2 B so that water seepage inside the inverter is avoided. On the backside of the inverter, as shown in figure 3, there is slidable cover which gets tighten with a screw so that it can be protected from mud, dust etc.
A power socket is provided in the system which supplies power (as shown in figure 4) upon requirements to the load such as but not limited at home to run home appliances or at field to run loads. The battery charge level does not go below a predefined charge level so that the vehicle can restart safely within a time period. The power backup system is designed to fit in the compact tractor cab without taking up a lot of space. Usersettable/ configurable and selectable predefined charge level can be made according to the present invention.
A renewable energy charger can be integrated (grid as well as solar charger) to charge the secondary power source of the vehicle. Where there is the requirement of power, the vehicle goes there and the power backup system is connected to supply the power. Even if the vehicle is not in use such as without limitation for three months or more, it can keep the secondary power source charged and the vehicle can start in one go when needed.
The power backup system may include an internal back-up power source, such as but not limited to a secondary power source, to provide limited emergency powering of the system. In this case, the controller of the backup system may be programmed to switch to the internal secondary power source if the external power source (such as but not limited to the vehicle's battery) falls too low or rises too high. Such a case may arise when a system is powered from a secondary powered source of the vehicle and the vehicle is started. On detecting a major voltage variation at the secondary
power source, the controller may switch to the internal secondary power source until the original source power stabilizes. The system also ensures the automatic recharging of the internal secondary power source which is powered by the external power source such as the vehicle's secondary power source or grid supply.
The power backup system takes the power from vehicle battery, step it up to the predefined voltage and convert it to AC electricity. During power failure, the present invention is capable of efficiently supplying electric power by internal DC to AC converter to household electric appliances in cooperation of a vehicle, including a mechanism supplying electric power outside the vehicle.
The present invention detects the electric power consumed by the connected load/ devices. An electromagnetic/ static switch is provided which automatically cuts off in the event of a power failure and thus, prevents the privately generated electric power from flowing reversely toward the system power source side. It makes the system more user friendly. If the user makes the wrong connections, the system goes in reverse feedback protection mode by keeping the current limited electronically or sensing output feedback before turning on the DC to AC conversion section and finally remains shuts down until the right connections are made. The system provides ease of serviceability as the connecting wire to connect the system and the off road vehicle is connected at the outside of the power backup system. This makes detachment or attachment of the power backup system easy, as only connecting wire needs to be pulled from the outside of the power backup system.
The present power backup system shuts down the output if no load/ device is connected at the output by sensing the AC or DC current. System will goes in sleep mode for a predefined time and gets automatically on permanently after sleep period is over and once the load/ device is connected.
The present power back system automatically disconnects the load and enters into the sleep mode or permanent off state at certain charge level of the battery so that vehicle can restart safely within certain time period. System automatically gets active once the battery is charged either through the vehicle or external power source.
The system has a user communication interface to monitor and control system/ connected load/ devices via wired or wireless media.
It is to be noted that the present invention is susceptible to modifications, adaptations and changes by those skilled in the art.
