  • Patent number: 10937113
    Abstract: Embodiments include methods, systems and computer readable storage medium for demand prediction and energy resource pre-allocation and/or relocation. The method includes monitoring, by a processor, venue event information for one or more locations. The method further includes calculating, by the processor, an energy resource demand based on a charge demand model. The method further includes determining, by the processor, whether the energy resource demand exceeds available energy resource stations provided at the location. The method further includes instructing, by the processor, one or more vehicles having spare energy resources to contribute at least a portion of the spare energy resources to meet the energy resource demand exceeding the available energy resource stations.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10688881
    Abstract: A communication module is configured to obtain, from a first computing device associated with an energy receiver, an energy request. The energy request includes a location of the energy receiver and an amount of energy requested. A selection module is configured to generate a list of energy sources available to satisfy the energy request. The communication module is further configured to: transmit the list of energy sources to the first computing device for display; receive, from the first computing device, a selection of one energy source from the list of energy sources; and transmit, to the first computing device and a second computing device associated with the selected one energy source, a location at which the energy request is to be fulfilled. An energy transfer module is configured to selectively enable an electrical energy transfer from the selected one energy source to the energy receiver.
