Vehicle-to-grid control

摘要

There is provided a system and a computer-implemented method for storing electrical charge in an electric vehicle connected to a charging station. The method includes: attaining a minimum State of Charge (SOC) for the electric vehicle; determining a time to charge the electric vehicle to a maximum SOC; maintaining an electric vehicle SOC by repeatedly charging and allowing discharge of the electric vehicle between the minimum SOC and a threshold; and charging the electric vehicle to the maximum SOC when the determined time to charge the electric vehicle to a maximum SOC has elapsed, wherein the threshold is greater than the minimum SOC and the maximum SOC is greater than or equal to the threshold.

1. A computer-implemented method for storing electrical charge in an electric vehicle connected to a charging station, the method comprising:
attaining a minimum State of Charge (SOC) for the electric vehicle; determining a time to charge the electric vehicle to a maximum SOC; notifying an electrical grid that the electric vehicle is available to store electrical charge for the electrical grid until the determined time; maintaining an electric vehicle SOC between the minimum SOC and a threshold SOC until the determined time by repeatedly charging the electric vehicle to the threshold SOC and allowing discharge of the electric vehicle to the minimum SOC until the determined time; and charging the electric vehicle to the maximum SOC at the determined time, wherein the threshold SOC is greater than the minimum SOC and the maximum SOC is greater than or equal to the threshold SOC.
