Presented are charging systems for provisioning vehicle grid integration (VGI) demand-response (DR) activities, methods for making/using such systems, and vehicles with bidirectional charging and VGI DR capabilities. A method of controlling VGI operations for a host vehicle includes a resident/remote vehicle controller receiving user-specific data input by the host vehicle's operator and crowd-sourced data output by third-party vehicles deemed comparable to and located within a predefined region of the host vehicle. A predicted battery life of the battery pack resulting from the host vehicle performing VGI operations is estimated using a non-iterative, non-recursive closed-form battery life model based on the user-specific and crowd-sourced data. The controller uses the predicted battery life to determine a value proposition indicating a predicted value and battery capacity for performing VGI operations, and commands a resident subsystem of the host vehicle to execute a control operation for the VGI operation based on the value proposition.
A method of controlling a vehicle grid integration (VGI) operation of a host vehicle having a rechargeable battery pack connectable to a charging station, the method comprising:
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by one or more processors of a vehicle controller to control a vehicle grid integration (VGI) operation of a host vehicle, the host vehicle having a rechargeable battery pack connectable to a charging station, the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, causing the vehicle controller to perform operations comprising:
A motor vehicle, comprising:
