And Control of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

A system for configuring an Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, the apparatus comprising. The system receives user direction and inputs regarding a custom EV charging infrastructure, submits the data an optimal planning module which is configured for performing optimization based on objectives in view of a set of constraints; and generates a recommendation from the optimal planning module for a custom EV charging infrastructure based on charging needs and behavior of the consumers toward deferring upgrades in electric infrastructure without compromising energy required for electrical transportation. The system validates the results from the optimal planning module using discrete event-based simulator and generates charging schedules from the controlling module for custom EV charging based on information about EV data, distributed energy resource (DER), and the electric infrastructure without compromising energy required for electrical transportation and causing undue impact on the electrical infrastructure.
