Abstract
An example operation includes one or more of determining groups of electric transports in an area that will have an available stored charge at a future time; verifying that one or more of the groups of electric transports are connected to an energy receiving module in the area immediately prior to the future time; and initiating a transfer of the available stored charge at the future time, wherein the future time is related to an energy demand of an electric grid being greater than a threshold.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining groups of electric transports in an area that will have an available stored charge at a future time;
- verifying that one or more of the groups of electric transports are connected to an energy receiving module in the area immediately prior to the future time;
- and
- initiating a transfer of the available stored charge at the future time, wherein the future time is related to an energy demand of an electric grid being greater than a threshold.
A system, comprising:
- a memory to store a set of instructions;
- a processor to execute the set of instructions to cause the system to:
- determine groups of electric transports in an area that will have an available stored charge at a future time;
- verify that one or more of the groups of electric transports are connected to an energy receiving module in the area immediately prior to the future time;
- and
- initiate a transfer of the available stored charge at the future time, wherein the future time is related to an energy demand of an electric grid is greater than a threshold.
A computer readable storage medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
- determining groups of electric transports in an area that will have an available stored charge at a future time;
- verifying that one or more of the groups of electric transports are connected to an energy receiving module in the area immediately prior to the future time;
- and
- initiating a transfer of the available stored charge at the future time, wherein the future time is related to an energy demand of an electric grid being greater than a threshold.
