Abstract
A method for planning a charging of an electrical vehicle comprises receiving a request for charging from an electrical vehicle at a charging pole, determining a charging time slot for the electrical vehicle based on the request for charging, scheduling the charging time slot for the electrical vehicle, predicting a load requirement for the charging pole based on the request for charging and the charging time slot, and sending the load requirement to a grid operator supplying the charging pole with electrical power.
Claims19
A method for planning a charging of an electrical vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving a request for charging from an electrical vehicle at a first charging pole;
- determining a charging time slot for the electrical vehicle based on the request for charging;
- scheduling the charging time slot for the electrical vehicle;
- predicting a load requirement for the first charging pole based on the request for charging and the charging time slot;
- receiving a load requirement from at least one second charging pole;
- exchanging the charging time slot with another charging time slot of the at least one second charging pole to optimize an overall load requirement;
- sending the load requirements to a grid operator supplying the first charging pole and the at least one second charging pole with electrical power.
A charging pole, comprising:
- a charging device for charging an electrical vehicle;
- a communication device adapted for communication with an electrical vehicle and an operator of an electrical grid supplying the charging pole with electrical energy;
- a computing device adapted for controlling a charging of the electrical vehicle via the charging device the computing device operable to
- receive a request for charging from the electrical vehicle at the charging pole;
- determine a charging time slot for the electrical vehicle based on the request for charging;
- schedule the charging time slot for the electrical vehicle;
- predict a load requirement for the charging pole based on the request for charging and the charging time slot;
- receive a load requirement from at least one second charging pole;
- exchange the charging time slot with another charging time slot of the at least one second charging pole to optimize an overall load requirement;
- send the load requirements to the operator supplying the charging poles with electrical power.
