  • DYNAMIC PRICING OF ENERGY CONSUMED FROM A SHARED BATTERY USING REAL-TIME CONSUMPTION DATA
    Publication number: 20230410229
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for dynamic pricing of energy consumed from a shared battery using real-time consumption data are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes calculating wear cost arising from a battery shared by multiple users, wherein the wear cost is based on usage data of the battery; calculating a proportionality factor for each of the multiple users for the calculated wear cost, wherein the proportionality factor is based on individual usage of the battery; apportioning the calculated wear cost to each of the multiple users based on the user's proportionality factor; and determining a dynamic price for energy used by the battery for each of the multiple users, based on said apportioning.
