    Abstract: A vehicle includes a temperature control system, a battery configured to power the temperature control system, and a controller. The controller is programmed to, in response to a request to precondition the battery or the cabin air, an absence of receiving a signal indicative of a desired initial battery state of charge, and an actual battery state of charge being greater than a default threshold, deliver electrical power from the battery to the temperature control system at a desired value. The controller is further programmed to, in response to the request to precondition the battery or the cabin air, receiving the signal indicative of the desired initial battery state of charge, and the actual battery state of charge being greater than the desired initial battery state of charge but less than the default threshold, deliver electrical power from the battery to the temperature control system at the desired value.

    Abstract: A control unit, at the time of a heating operation, pressure-reduces refrigerant that has passed through an indoor condenser, by an expansion valve, and thereafter introduces the refrigerant into an outdoor heat exchanger to thereby perform heat exchange with outside air. Further, the control unit, at the time of a defrosting operation, introduces high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant compressed by a compressor into the outdoor heat exchanger to thereby remove frost adhering to the outdoor heat exchanger. Furthermore, the control unit determines whether to perform the defrosting operation or not, based on the amount of electric power required for the defrosting operation.

    Abstract: A method for managing energy to a transport climate control system from a vehicle electrical system is provided. The vehicle electrical system includes a vehicle power network and an auxiliary power network connected to a transport climate control load network via a DC regulated bus. The method includes monitoring a vehicle voltage of the vehicle power network and determining whether the vehicle power network requires holdover assistance based on the vehicle voltage. Also, the method includes the bus sending vehicle power energy generated by the vehicle power network to the transport climate control load network without assistance of the auxiliary power network when the controller determines that the vehicle power network has sufficient power capacity available, and the bus sending the vehicle power energy and auxiliary power energy stored by the auxiliary power network to the transport climate control load network when the controller determines that the vehicle power network requires holdover assistance.
