Patent attributes
The disclosure includes a system and method for charging and discharging a Plug-in Electric Vehicle (“PEV”). The method may include determining that first event data describes a Renewable Energy Output Control event (“REOC event”) including instructions directing a Renewable Energy Power Generation facility (“REPG facility”) to not output power to a power grid during a time period specified by the REOC event. The method may include the REPG facility charging a battery system included in a PEV during the REOC event. The battery system may be coupled to the REPG facility via a coupling that does not including the power grid. The battery system may be charged by the REPG facility via the coupling with power generated by the REPG facility during the first duration of the REOC event so that the REPG facility continues to generate power during the REOC event.
