System and method for coordinating transfer of electricity
First Claim
1. A system for coordinating transfer of electricity between parked mobile machines, each of the parked mobile machines having a propulsion system operable to propel the mobile machine, and one or more of the parked mobile machines having an electricity-generation system, the system comprising:
- one or more information-processing devices that automatically coordinate one or more aspects of the transfer of electricity between a plurality of the parked mobile machines, includingreceiving information relating to one or more of the parked mobile machines; and
automatically determining which of the plurality of parked mobile machines will supply electricity to one or more of the other parked mobile machines based at least in part on the received information.

Abstract
A system for coordinating transfer of electricity between parked mobile machines is disclosed. Each parked mobile machine may include a propulsion system operable to propel the mobile machine, and one or more of the mobile machines may have an electricity-generation system. The system may include one or more information-processing devices that automatically coordinate one or more aspects of the transfer of electricity between a plurality of the parked mobile machines. The one or more information-processing devices may coordinate one or more aspects of the transfer of electricity between the plurality of parked mobile machines by receiving information relating to one or more of the parked mobile machines and automatically determining which of the parked mobile machines will supply electricity to one or more of the other parked mobile machines based at least in part on the received information.
