  • Patent number: 11987145
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for fleet electrification management. A method includes determining a composition of electric vehicles (EVs) to replace at least a portion of non-electric vehicles in a vehicle fleet while satisfying travel requirements of the vehicle fleet. The method includes estimating an energy demand of the composition of EVs. The method includes determining an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) charging infrastructure to meet the estimated energy demand. The method includes providing one or more recommendations including at least one of: a fleet electrification recommendation for transitioning the vehicle fleet into the composition of EVs, or a charging infrastructure recommendation for implementing the EVSE charging infrastructure.

  • Publication number: 20230229126
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for dividing control of energy flow at multiple Electric Vehicle (EV) stations using the combination of a centralized controller and a plurality of decentralized controllers. The centralized controller is configured to perform: executing algorithms to generate centralized predictions for a first period of time, wherein the centralized predictions relate to energy usage at a plurality of stations, and generating one or more centralized baseline signals based on the centralized predictions. Each decentralized controller is configured to perform: receiving the one or more centralized baseline signals, monitoring interactions at a subset of the plurality of stations during the first period of time, and updating the one or more centralized baseline signals in real-time based on the interactions to produce one or more locally-updated baseline signal.
