ELECTRICITY DEMAND PREDICTION
First Claim
1. A method for anticipating an electrical load, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer system, a plurality of indications of locations of a vehicle;
identifying, by the computer system, a travel pattern of the vehicle based on the plurality of indications of locations of the vehicle, wherein the travel pattern indicates;
a destination; and
an expected travel time to arrive at the destination;
receiving, by the computer system, a current location of the vehicle; and
identifying, by the computer system, an anticipated electrical load at the destination at least partially based on the travel pattern.

Abstract
Various arrangements for anticipating an electrical load are presented. A plurality of indications of locations of a vehicle may be received. A travel pattern of the vehicle based on the plurality of indications of locations of the vehicle may be determined. The travel pattern may indicate a destination and an expected travel time to arrive at the destination. A current location of the vehicle may be received. At least partially based on the current location of the vehicle, whether the vehicle is expected to conform to the travel pattern may be determined. An anticipated electrical load at the destination may be determined at least partially based on the travel pattern.
