Abstract
Disclosed herein are a method and a system for automatic and intelligent determination and usage of internal reserve energy in an energy system associated with a vehicle. The system processes pre-configured inputs and inputs collected in real time, generates a distribution optimization profile which possesses information on values of different control parameters required to keep selected components operational, by considering energy availability in the energy storage system. Further, the system distributes energy to selected components, based on the distribution optimization profile. Further, the system verifies whether the selected distribution optimization profile matches a safe use profile and if not, automatically overrides settings associated with the distribution optimization profile to ensure safe driving of the vehicle, with at least a minimum comfort level.
