Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to providing information to a user about vehicle-to-grid participation. In one embodiment, a method includes predicting future usage of a vehicle based on at least historical usage of the vehicle, determining a schedule for vehicle-to-grid participation based on at least the future usage of the vehicle, and outputting the schedule to an output system.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- predicting future usage of a vehicle based on at least historical usage of the vehicle;
- determining a schedule for vehicle-to-grid participation based on at least the future usage of the vehicle;
- and
- operating a vehicle system in response to the schedule, including controlling an electric battery of the vehicle to facilitate vehicle-to-grid energy transfer between the electric battery and a grid.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- predict future usage of a vehicle based on at least historical usage of the vehicle;
- determine a schedule for vehicle-to-grid participation based on at least the future usage of the vehicle;
- and
- operate a vehicle system in response to the schedule, including control an electric battery of the vehicle to facilitate vehicle-to-grid energy transfer between the electric battery and a grid.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- predict future usage of a vehicle based on at least historical usage of the vehicle;
- determine a schedule for vehicle-to-grid participation based on at least the future usage of the vehicle;
- and
- operate a vehicle system in response to the schedule, including control an electric battery of the vehicle to facilitate vehicle-to-grid energy transfer between the electric battery and a grid.
