Architecture and control system for electrically-powered accessories of a non-hybrid vehicle

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by at least one electrically-powered accessory of a vehicle, from a junction box coupled to an AC-to-DC inverter, electrical power comprising at least regulated DC power, wherein the AC-to-DC inverter converts AC power electrical power generated by an electromagnetic device coupled to an engine to the regulated DC power, and wherein the junction box receives the regulated DC power from the AC-to-DC inverter and provides the regulated DC power to a plurality of electrical paths coupled to the junction box to a plurality of electrically-powered accessories, including the at least one electrically-powered accessory;
• and
• receiving, by the at least one electrically-powered accessory from a controller, a command configured to control the at least one electrically-powered accessory at or above 28 volts independent of another electrically-powered accessory of the at least one electrically-powered accessory using the regulated DC power from the junction box, wherein the junction box provides the regulated DC power at or above 28 volts to the at least one electrically-powered accessory based on electrical power consumption of the at least one electrically-powered accessory, and wherein the command to control the at least one electrically-powered accessory is independent of an output of the engine.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor associated with an electrically-powered accessory of a vehicle to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a junction box coupled to an AC-to-DC inverter, electrical power comprising at least regulated DC power, wherein the AC-to-DC inverter converts AC power generated by an electromagnetic device coupled to an engine of the vehicle to the regulated DC power, and wherein the junction box receives the regulated DC power from the AC-to-DC inverter and provides the regulated DC power to a plurality of electrical paths electrically coupling the junction box to a plurality of electrically-powered accessories, including the at least one electrically-powered accessory;
• and
• receiving a command configured to control the electrically-powered accessory at or above 28 volts independent of another electrically-powered accessory using the regulated DC power from the junction box, wherein the junction box provides the regulated DC power at or above 28 volts to the at least one electrically-powered accessory based on electrical power consumption of the at least one electrically-powered accessory, and wherein the command to control the electrically-powered accessory is independent of an output of the engine.
