Systems and methods for minimizing grid-based energy consumption

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for controlling a vehicle-to-home power supply and energy storage system in a manner that minimizes grid-based energy consumption without disrupting future usage of a vehicle of the system. A control system of the system may be configured to estimate a renewable energy generation of a local renewable energy system based on crowd sourced renewable energy generation information and weather information. The control module may be further configured to prepare a charging/discharging schedule and a vehicle operating schedule based on the estimated renewable energy generation of the local renewable energy system.
