Abstract
A decentralized charging network of mobile power transmitters comprises a server, power receivers, and a fleet of deployable mobile power transmitters comprising a control system, a power source system having a charge measuring device for monitoring the charge transfer, a charging system configured to transfer charge from the power source system to the power receiver, and a communication system for communication between a power receiver, a server, and the control system. A charging request is received and processed by a server from a power receiver or an operator preparing to charge a power receiver. A qualified mobile power transmitter is identified and instructed to arrive at a location and to charge a power receiver according to charging instructions prepared by the server. The charging is monitored and, upon completion, the mobile power transmitter deactivates the charging session and informs the server.
