Abstract:
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for transferring electrical power between an electrical power system of a vehicle and another device. In an illustrative embodiment, an apparatus includes a wireless transfer unit electrically coupled with a high voltage system of a vehicle and configured to enable wireless bidirectional power exchange between the high voltage system and an auxiliary device. The high voltage system is operable to power a drivetrain of the vehicle and the auxiliary device is separate from the vehicle and configured to at least one of provide electric power to and receive power from the high voltage system. A transfer control unit is configured to communicate with the wireless transfer unit and control at least one parameter specifying a transfer of electrical power between the high voltage system and the auxiliary device.
