Technologies described herein are directed to the prioritized delivery of energy to primary and accessory electrical components associated with a vehicle that is at least partially electrically powered, as well as to a power source of the vehicle itself. To operate accessory electrical components in parallel to delivering power to a vehicle battery, the embodiments described herein facilitate understanding dynamic energy available to the accessory electrical components as well as the vehicle battery, and then managing the usage of energy in a prioritized manner to optimize the whole system performance that is aligned with user priorities with regards to energy availability and energy needs.

An energy management control module is configured for communication with the vehicle controller. The energy management control module is configured to generate generator command data for the generator in a power command mode. In one embodiment, the energy management control module supports a first mode and a second mode. A first mode comprises the power command mode and a stored power extraction mode that are mutually exclusive modes for any sampling interval. In the power command mode of the first mode, the energy management controller is configured to generate generator command data for the generator based on a commanded motor torque and an energy storage power command (e.g., SOC command data) if the primary rotational energy of the internal combustion engine meets or exceeds the total vehicle load for a sampling interval.

A vehicle air-conditioning device includes a compressor, a heating unit, an outside air heat exchanger, a wind speed regulation unit, and a controller. The heating unit includes a heating heat exchanger and heats ventilation air supplied to a space to be air conditioned using a high-pressure refrigerant as a heat source. The wind speed regulation unit regulates a wind speed of air supplied to the outside air heat exchanger. The control unit performs, as a defrosting operation of defrosting the outside air heat exchanger, a dry defrosting mode for evaporating and removing frost adhering to the outside air heat exchanger in a state where the outside air is at a low temperature. In the dry defrosting mode, the controller causes the wind speed regulation unit to supply air to the outside air heat exchanger at a wind speed in a range determined to promote evaporation and removal of frost.
