SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DECREASING PEAK ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF A POWER CONSUMER USING VEHICLE BATTERY CAPACITY
First Claim
1. A method performed by a processor for decreasing peak energy consumption of a power consumer during power exchange with a battery of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- preprogramming an actual consumption line based on expected power usage, the actual consumption line having a peak energy level;
determining a connection time of the battery when the battery is connected to the power consumer, a connection energy of the battery at the connection time, a required departure time of the battery, a required departure energy; and
calculating a power exchange curve during a connection period between the connection time and the required departure time configured to minimize an expected peak energy level while securing the required departure energy by the required departure time.

Abstract
Systems and methods of reducing peak energy consumption of a power consumer comprise preprogramming an actual consumption line based on expected power usage, and determining the battery'"'"'s connection time, required departure time, required departure energy and connection energy. A charge rate and a discharge rate are preselected, and a first charge energy level is calculated from the peak energy level less the discharge rate and the charge rate. A connection time of the battery when the battery is connected to the power consumer, a connection energy of the battery at the connection time, a required departure time of the battery, a required departure energy are determined. A power exchange curve is determined during a connection period between the connection time and the required departure time configured to minimize an expected peak energy level.
