  • Publication number: 20230311687
    Abstract: A charging connector for providing power to a vehicle from a power source includes a connector body, a first charging portion, a second charging portion, and an actuator. The first charging portion is for charging the vehicle according to a first electric charge protocol and is movable between a first retracted state and a first extended state relative to the connector body. The second charging portion is for charging the vehicle according to a second electric charge protocol and is movable between a second retracted state and a second extended state relative to the connector body. The actuator is configured to selectively move the first charging portion between the first retracted state and the first extended state relative to the connector body, and the second charging portion between the second retracted state and the second extended state relative to the connector body.

  • Publication number: 20230130370
    Abstract: According to one aspect, a system for energy management may include a processor, a memory, and a communication interface. The communication interface may receive configuration information associated with a microgrid and one or more distributed energy resources (DER). The processor may generate a dispatch profile to control one or more of the DER based on a detected outage, a type of DER connected to the microgrid, a set of default operating conditions, and a user preference. According to one aspect, the processor may generate the dispatch profile based on the dispatch command, a status of a DER of one or more of the DER connected to the microgrid, and a user preference. The dispatch command may include a demand response (DR) request or a vehicle grid integration (VGI) request for real power or reactive power from the microgrid.

  • Patent number: 11396245
    Abstract: According to one aspect, a hybrid vehicle-to-grid and mobility service request system includes a receiving module, a transport module, a charging module, and a grant module. The receiving module receives a transport request and a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) request. The transport request is associated with transport from an origin to a destination using a vehicle. The V2G energy request is associated with providing charge from the vehicle to source equipment at a charging location. The transport module determines a first numerical value associated with remuneration for the transport. The charging module determines a second numerical value associated with remuneration for providing the charge. The grant module compares the first numerical value associated with the transport request to the second numerical value associated with the V2G energy request. The grant module grants the transport request or the V2G energy request based on the comparison.
