Abstract
An example battery charging system utilizes demand response management to reduce energy consumption during times of high demand. The system includes a plurality of battery chargers and a charge controller in communication with the plurality of battery chargers. The charge controller may be configured to receive, from each of the plurality of battery chargers, a respective state of charge of a battery coupled to the battery charger, receive data indicative of a demand on a power source that provides power to the plurality of battery chargers, calculate a charge reduction quantity for one or more of the battery chargers according to the demand data, the states of charge of the batteries, and/or the prioritizations of batteries to meet operational needs, and transmit the charge reduction quantities to the one or more battery chargers.
