Apparatus and method for managing energy of electric vehicle
First Claim
1. An apparatus for managing energy of an electric vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a communication unit configured to receive a user'"'"'s schedule information from the user, and receive power network state information from a power supplier;
a control unit configured to set charging information based on the received schedule information of the user, battery information, and the received power network state information, and generate and transfer a charging request signal for charging a battery based on the charging information, wherein when the schedule information comprises a periodic schedule, the control unit is configured to set the charging information to include a charging amount necessary for the periodic schedule, and when the scheduling information comprises an aperiodic schedule and the periodic schedule, the control unit is configured to reset the charging information to include the charging amount necessary for the periodic schedule and a charging amount necessary for the aperiodic schedule; and
an energy storage unit configured to store electric energy received according to the charging information.
