Energy Management for Non-charging Load at Site with Charging Station Bidirectionality

A vehicle charging system for providing electric power to a non-charging load at a charging site, comprising:

• one or more input ports configured to receive input electric power at a first voltage (V1) via an input circuit from an alternating current (AC) power source that further provides AC power to the non-charging load;
• a battery configured to receive and store direct current (DC) electric power derived from the input electric power;
• a bidirectional inverter disposed between the one or more input ports and the battery, the bidirectional inverter being configured to convert the input electric power from the one or more input ports into a DC energy storage current to charge the battery and to convert a DC current from the battery into an AC output current to be supplied from the vehicle charging system to a local AC circuit at a second voltage (V2) via the one or more input ports, wherein the second voltage (V2) is distinct from the first voltage (V1);
• a vehicle coupling configured to receive a charging current from the battery and to provide an electrical interconnect between the vehicle charging system and a vehicle in order to provide the charging current to the vehicle;
• and
• a system controller comprising one or more processors configured to:
• determine occurrence of a triggering condition associated with availability of the AC power source based upon power source data regarding the AC power source;
• and
• in response to determining occurrence of the triggering condition, control the bidirectional inverter of the vehicle charging system to convert the DC current from the battery into the AC output current to provide the AC output current to the non-charging load via the local AC circuit at the charging site to power the non-charging load.
