16. A method for managing a demand response (DR) event request comprising:
-
dividing a geographic region having a plurality of utility providers into a plurality of units, each unit associated with a specific utility provider, the plurality of units arrange in a grid, wherein each unit of the plurality of units share at least one common border with an adjacent unit; issuing a DR event request by a first of the plurality of utility providers, the DR event request designated for at least one particular unit of the plurality of units associated with the first of the plurality of utility providers; determining which of a plurality of vehicles are in the at least one particular unit; determining a subset of the plurality of vehicles that meet qualifying criteria of the DR event request, the qualifying criteria established to reduce battery degradation of the plurality of vehicles; sending a vehicle to grid (V2G) request to the subset of the plurality of vehicles to participate in the DR event request; and recording each vehicle of the subset of the plurality of vehicles that participates in the V2G request. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
