Original Abstract Submitted
A system for managing transfer or distribution of energy amongst a plurality of devices. The system includes one or more connectors configured to provide one or more connections to at least one of the plurality of devices, a switching device connected to the one or more connectors and configured to open or close the one or more connections, a memory configured to store energy storage or usage data associated with the at least one of the plurality of devices, and a controller coupled to the switching device and the memory. The controller may receive first data indicative of a request to receive energy, receive second data indicative of a request to unload energy, determine, based on the energy storage or usage data, the first data, and the second data, an energy distribution schedule, and control the switching device to provide or collect energy according to the energy distribution schedule.
