[Ovmsdev] Generator / V2G metrics proposal

[Michael Balzer]

Derek,

thanks for the feedback. I understand you don't miss any vital metrics.

I prefer "gen" because it's the view of the vehicle as a power 
generator, and because the abbreviation "v.g." is distinct, clear & 
easily memorizable, with a clear advantage over "v.v." or any "v.v2x." 
variant, and a nice coverage of the "grid" association on "v.g." as well.

"Generator" is also exactly the role of the vehicle in a V2X setup 
(acting as a power generator). Regeneration or recuperation is always a 
"re…" term.

The voltages are both meant to be at the "grid" side, as we already have 
the battery voltage as a separate metric, and as the charger voltage is 
also defined to be that. See the comments:

     OvmsMetricFloat* ms_v_charge_voltage;          // Momentary 
*charger supply* voltage [V]
…
     OvmsMetricFloat* ms_v_gen_voltage;             // Momentary 
*generator output* voltage [V]

On the energy sums, I considered using some "output/input" or the 
already defined "used/recd" scheme, but none of these is as clear as "grid".

I think "grid" nicely covers all normal V2X applications, also V2H, as 
even a home without connection to the public power grid still has it's 
own local in-house power grid. The only application where "grid" is a 
bit off is if you connect only one device to the generator. I think 
that's an edge case we don't need to take into account.

Regards,
Michael
