Optimized Charging and Discharging of a Plug-in Electric Vehicle
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining that first event data describes a Renewable Energy Output Control event (“
REOC event”
) including instructions for operating a Renewable Energy Power Generation facility (“
REPG facility”
) during a first duration of the REOC event, wherein the instructions direct the REPG facility to not output power to a power grid during the first duration of the REOC event; and
charging a battery system included in a Plug-in Electric Vehicle (“
PEV”
) during the first duration of the REOC event, wherein the battery system is coupled to the REPG facility via a coupling that does not including the power grid and charged by the REPG facility via the coupling with power generated by the REPG facility during the first duration of the REOC event so that the REPG facility continues to generate power during the REOC event.

Abstract
The disclosure includes a system and method for charging and discharging a Plug-in Electric Vehicle (“PEV”). The method may include determining that first event data describes a Renewable Energy Output Control event (“REOC event”) including instructions directing a Renewable Energy Power Generation facility (“REPG facility”) to not output power to a power grid during a time period specified by the REOC event. The method may include the REPG facility charging a battery system included in a PEV during the REOC event. The battery system may be coupled to the REPG facility via a coupling that does not including the power grid. The battery system may be charged by the REPG facility via the coupling with power generated by the REPG facility during the first duration of the REOC event so that the REPG facility continues to generate power during the REOC event.

19. A system comprising:
-
a Plug-in Electric Vehicle (“
PEV”
) coupled to a charging system;wherein the PEV includes a battery system operable to be charged by the charging system, a processor and an optimization system, wherein the optimization system includes computer-readable code that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform steps comprising; determining that event data describes a Renewable Energy Output Control event (“
REOC event”
) including instructions for operating a Renewable Energy Power Generation facility (“
REPG facility”
) during a duration of the REOC event, wherein the instructions direct the REPG facility to not output power to a power grid during the duration of the REOC event; andcharging the battery system included in the PEV during the duration of the REOC event, wherein the battery system is coupled to the REPG facility via a coupling that does not including the power grid and charged by the REPG facility via the coupling with power generated by the REPG facility during the duration of the REOC event so that the REPG facility continues to generate power during the REOC event.
