Abstract: A system for managing energy of a building includes a controller in communication with a charger and configured to responsive to predicting (i) a coming power outage of an expected duration and (ii) a total energy reserve of a battery of a vehicle and an electric energy storage being less than an anticipated amount of energy to be used by the building during the expected duration, instruct the vehicle to recharge the battery at a target charge station and return before stored energy of the energy storage falls below a predefined value, and responsive to encountering the power outage, command the charger to supply electric energy to the building from the battery and electric energy storage.

Abstract: A method includes responsive to indication that a predicted electricity price will exceed a predefined threshold during a timeframe, charging one or more power storage devices to a target amount, that is based on a predicted power demand of the building during the timeframe, before the timeframe begins, and discharging the one or more power storage devices to supply power to the building during the timeframe.

Abstract: An energy system of a building includes a power storage device, and a controller that, during a period of time for which energy costs are lowest, charges a power storage device to a maximum state of charge, and during a period of time for which energy costs are not lowest and an immediate subsequent period of time is predicted to have higher energy costs, charges the power storage device to a target state of charge that is less than the maximum state of charge and that depends on predicted power demand during the subsequent period of time.

Abstract: A method for managing energy for a building includes connecting a power line of the building to a battery of a vehicle via a charger; responsive to occurrence of a power outage, supplying electric energy to the building from the battery and from an energy storage separate from the vehicle; and instructing the vehicle to recharge the battery and return to the building at a predefined time before stored energy of the energy storage falls below a predefined value.

Abstract: The methods and systems for correcting for an inductive load when testing high voltages devices are described. A high voltages device is a device under test (DUT) in a double-pulse test, which may require the inductive load. The method can include in a low current, high voltage time period, estimating an inductor current contribution range after a turn on of the device-under-test connected to an inductive load with an air core inductor. The method subtracts the estimated inductor current contribution from a device-under-test collector current to output a corrected collector current. This allows the double pulse test to be conducted with an air-core inductor. Vehicles can use the DUT in traction power applications.

Abstract: A method includes measuring an impedance of a shunt as a function of frequency and converting the impedance to an admittance in a time domain. The method further includes connecting the shunt in a circuit and measuring voltage data across the shunt over a predetermined interval. The method includes outputting a signal indicative of a current through the shunt derived from the voltage data convolved with the admittance. The method may be implemented in a controller configured to interface with the shunt.
