  • Publication number: 20240067035
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for electric vehicle charging management. In one example, a method includes: building a graph representing an electrical topology of the electric vehicle charging facility and producing an updated graph by updating a state of the one or more network nodes based on electric current or power flow through the one or more passive electric components and updating a state of the one or more component nodes based on electric current or power produced or consumed by the one or more active electric components. The method further includes receiving a selected control strategy for the electric vehicle charging facility and adjusting an electric current or a power draw of an electric vehicle charging station in the electric vehicle charging facility based on the updated graph and the selected control strategy.
