METHODS OF DECREASING PEAK ENERGY CONSUMPTION

摘要

Methods of reducing peak energy consumption of a power consumer are provided. One such method comprises preprogramming an actual consumption line based on actual power usage, the actual consumption line having peak start time, a peak end time and a peak consumption time; determining a connection period of a battery of a vehicle to a charging station of the power consumer; determining an available energy between the required departure energy of the battery and the connection energy; determining an average expected consumption line that averages the actual power usage over the connection period; and determining a charge/discharge line by adjusting the average expected consumption line based on the available energy and the connection period.

1. A method performed by a computer program for decreasing peak energy consumption of a power consumer comprising:
preprogramming an actual consumption line based on expected power usage, the actual consumption line having a peak consumption time; determining a connection period of a selectively connectable battery to a charging station of the power consumer between a connection time and a departure time; determining an available energy based on a required departure energy and a connection energy; determining an average expected consumption line over the connection period based on the actual consumption line, the required departure energy, and the connection energy; determining a charge line and a discharge line based on the average expected consumption line; determining charging periods and discharging periods based on the charge line, discharge line, and the actual consumption line; determining a predicted battery capacity across the connection period and an energy transfer deficiency; and adjusting the discharge line based on the energy transfer deficiency.
