Smart V2H for grid emissions reduction and emergency power distribution

A vehicle-to-home electrical power distribution system, comprising:

• memory storing instructions;
• and
• one or more processors communicably coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:
• detect an electrical connection between vehicle power system of a vehicle and a household power system of a home, the household power system being connected to an electrical transmission grid;
• determine an amount of power drawn by the electrical transmission grid from non-renewable energy sources;
• rank loads of the household power system according to a power consumption metric;
• and
• responsive to a determination that the amount of power drawn by the electrical transmission grid from the non-renewable energy sources is greater than a threshold amount, supply electrical power from the vehicle power system to the household power system, wherein supplying the electrical power from the vehicle power system to the household power system comprises only supplying the electrical power to a subset of the loads based on the power consumption metric rankings.

A vehicle comprising:

• one or more batteries configured to supply electrical power to one or more vehicle subsystems;
• a charge port configured to electrically couple to a charger and transfer electrical power from the charger to the one or more batteries;
• an inverter configured for bi-directional energy transfer between the one or more batteries and the one or more vehicle subsystems;
• and
• an electrical power distribution circuit comprising one or more processors configured to execute instructions stored in memory to:
• detect an electrical connection between the charger and the charge port, wherein the charger is connected to a home power network that draws power from an electrical transmission grid;
• obtain information indicative of an amount of power drawn by of the electrical transmission grid from non-renewable energy sources;
• rank loads of the home power network according to a criticality metric, wherein the criticality metric comprises at least one of:
• a power consumption metric,
• a criticality for safe human habitation metric, or
• a personal criticality metric configured by a user of the household power network, wherein the personal criticality metric reflects a personal importance of a respective load to the user;
• and
• responsive to a determination that that amount of power drawn by of the electrical transmission grid from non-renewable energy sources exceeds a threshold amount, operate the inverter to transfer electrical energy from the one or more batteries to the charger via the charge port and direct a vehicle-to-home electrical power distribution system to distribute the electrical energy to a subset of the loads of the home power network based on the criticality metric rankings.
