Abstract
Network constraint energy management system for electric vehicle (EV) depot charging and scheduling. In an embodiment, a power schedule is received from an economic dispatch application for a charging depot comprising EV charging station(s) and distributed energy resource(s). The power schedule may be simulated on a distribution network model of the charging depot, according to load flow analysis, to determine whether any grid-code violations occur. In response to the detection of violation(s), a constraint may be generated for each violating node, and the economic dispatch application may be re-executed with the constraint(s) to produce a new power schedule, until no violations are detected. When not all load demand can be satisfied by the power schedule, a charging schedule may be adjusted to ensure that critical energy requirements are satisfied. The final power and charging schedules may be used to schedule and control power generation and charging in the charging depot.
