  • Patent number: 12417466
    Abstract: Aggregated energy management (e.g., using a computerized tool) is enabled. For example, a system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components, and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components comprise an energy component that determines an energy resource available to a bidirectional charging station electrically coupled to a vehicle, and based on current energy market demand, a unit price applicable to the energy resource, and a charging component that, based upon a defined charging criterion being determined to be satisfied, initiates a transfer of the energy resource between the vehicle and the bidirectional charging station according to the unit price.
