摘要： A plurality of charging equipment share a current capacity. A message is received that indicates a request for allocation of electric current through a first charging equipment of the plurality of charging equipment. Responsive to determining that granting the request would exceed the current capacity, the electric current is dynamically allocated among the plurality of charging equipment such that the first charging equipment is allocated electric current without exceeding the current capacity shared by the plurality of charging equipment.

摘要： A utility employs a method for generating available operating reserve. Electric power consumption by at least one device serviced by the utility is determined during at least one period of time to produce power consumption data, stored in a repository. A determination is made that a control event is to occur during which power is to be reduced to one or more devices. Prior to the control event and under an assumption that it is not to occur, power consumption behavior expected of the device(s) is generated for a time period during which the control event is expected to occur based on the stored power consumption data. Additionally, prior to the control event, projected energy savings resulting from the control event, and associated with a power supply value (PSV) are determined based on the devices' power consumption behavior. An amount of available operating reserve is determined based on the projected energy savings.

摘要： A method and system for optimizing power grid emergency load-shedding based on proliferation and reduction evolution. The method includes the steps of obtaining upper and lower limits data of allowed load-shedding amount of each load and boundary threshold data of transient security and stability constraint indexes of a power grid; and obtaining an optimal power grid emergency load-shedding scheme based on these data and an evolutionary optimization method, wherein the key of the evolutionary optimization method to work is proliferation and reduction evolution strategies. The proliferation strategy with multiple evolution search operators is proposed to generate many temporary candidate schemes. The reduction strategy of temporary candidate schemes includes two key steps, that is, pre-screening of based on a surrogate model and validation based on time-domain simulation.

摘要： A system and method for managing vehicle charging stations such that when at least two of a plurality of electric vehicle charging stations (also known as electric vehicle service equipment, or EVSE) occupied with vehicles awaiting a charge, the present system manages the charging of individual vehicles in cases where the aggregated demand for charging exceeds the capacity of the circuits supplying the plurality of EVSE. By cycling so that only a few of the vehicles are charging at a time, the demand on the circuits is kept below a predetermined limit. In cases where a load shedding event is in progress, the limit can be further reduced. In cases where the cost of electricity is varying dynamically, the system considers a driver's explicit charging requirements (if any) and preferences for opportunistic charging when the price of electricity is not too high.
