Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for providing edge hardware system for distributed energy resources. One embodiment of a system includes a core device that is deployed in an edge environment of a site, the core device causing the edge hardware system to communicate with a cloud environment to acquire current optimization and load management set points for a charging station, dispatch the current optimization and load management set points through a local communications protocol via a local network to the charging station, and receive data from the charging station through the local network. In some embodiments, the core device causes the hardware system to communicate the data to the cloud environment via a wide area network and control charge and discharge parameters of an energy asset at the charging station using energy-related inputs.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for managing a fleet of electric vehicles. An example method includes detecting a trigger event that affects charging characteristics of at least one vehicle in a fleet. The method also includes providing, via an interface, a prompt regarding the trigger event. The method includes presenting, via the interface, decisions to remedy the cause of the triggering event and consequences of the decisions to the charging characteristics of one or more vehicles in the fleet. Additionally, the method includes receiving, via the interface, an input accepting one of the decisions. The method includes providing instructions that affect the operation of at least one charging station based on the accepted decision.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for charging a plurality of electric assets. One embodiment of a system includes EVSE for charging an EV, the EVSE including a three-phase transformer for sending energy to the EV and an edge environment that is coupled to the EVSE. The edge environment may include logic that causes the system to receive configuration information associated with the EVSE, where the configuration information includes a phase assignment for the EVSE, determine whether the phase assignment is labeled as unknown, where the phase assignment of unknown was applied in response to a determination that a previous phase assignment was invalid or missing, and generate an optimization problem for the EVSE. In some embodiments, the logic may cause the system to solve the optimization problem to generate a trajectory for the three-phase transformer and cause implementation of the trajectory on the EVSE.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for truth and charging. One embodiment of a method includes receiving a charge request from a user for a charging station that includes an expected charging time and an expected energy usage for charging an EV, receiving data related to a charge at the charging station that is associated with the charge request, and comparing the expected charging time with the actual charging time and the expected energy usage with the actual energy usage. Some embodiments include determining whether the charge request was accurate, determining whether the user is accurate, and in response to determining that the user is not accurate, taking corrective action to encourage the user to adjust a future charge request to become more accurate.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for providing a charge reservoir. Some embodiments of a method include determining that a first electric vehicle (EV) is coupled to a first electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and a second EV is coupled to a second EVSE, determining a current state of charge and a desired charge for the first EV and the second EV, and determining that the first EV has a current state of charge that is greater than the desired charge. Some embodiments include determining that the second EV has a current state of charge that is less than the desired charge, utilizing the first EVSE to remove charge from the first EV to a charge reservoir and utilizing by the computing device, the second EVSE to transfer charge from the charge reservoir to the second EV until the desired charge for the second EV is met.

Abstract: Provided herein are techniques for managing charging stations with diverse communication capabilities. A system for EVSE management may include a first communication controller in communication with a first network to communicatively couple to a central control system, a second communication controller in communication with a second network to communicatively couple to a first EVSE charger, and a third communication controller in communication with a third network to communicatively couple to a second EVSE charger. A communication adapter may communicatively couple the first communication controller, the second communication controller, and third communication controller to receive a first message from the remote charging manager using a first application protocol, send the first message to the first EVSE charger using a second application protocol, receive a second message from the remote charging manager using the first application protocol, and send the second message to the second EVSE charger using a third application protocol.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for electric vehicle charging management. In some examples, a method includes detecting a charge session associated with a charging station; generating an encoded identification message that includes an identifier and sending the encoded identification message to the charging station, the encoded identification message configured to cause the vehicle connected to the charging station to alter a battery charging rate based on the identifier; receiving telematics data from the vehicle, the telematics data including the battery charging rate; decoding the identifier from the battery charging rate; and assigning the charge session to an account associated with the vehicle based on the decoded identifier.
