Classification: CPC B  G  Y | IPC B

Claim 13:
14. A load shedding system of a transport climate control system that provides climate control to a cargo space of a vehicle, the system comprising:
an energy storage source;
an energy storage management system, configured to determine a stored energy amount of the energy storage source;
a communication link located on the vehicle;
a transport climate control system; and
a processor, configured to:
obtain vehicle status data indicative of conditions at the vehicle that affect energy storage and consumption during a route, the vehicle status data including the stored energy amount;
obtain route condition data indicative of conditions along the route;
determine a predicted energy consumption based on the vehicle status data and the route condition data;
compare the predicted energy consumption to the stored energy amount; and
when the predicted energy consumption exceeds the stored energy amount, direct performance of a load shedding operation at the transport climate control system.
