Abstract: A method to scale EV charging infrastructure incrementally at low cost using a novel distributed control system. Distributed Control system comprises of a distributed network of nodal controllers and power flow sensors minoring the hierarchal architecture of electrical power distribution network of facilities and city utilities The control system optimizes the electric power flow in the electrical circuits of the charging network given the constraints imposed by the addition of EV chargers in the electrical power distribution network and by the varying activity of EV chargers in the structure.
Abstract: A system for configuring an Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, the apparatus comprising. The system receives user direction and inputs regarding a custom EV charging infrastructure, submits the data an optimal planning module which is configured for performing optimization based on objectives in view of a set of constraints; and generates a recommendation from the optimal planning module for a custom EV charging infrastructure based on charging needs and behavior of the consumers toward deferring upgrades in electric infrastructure without compromising energy required for electrical transportation.
