Fast electric vehicle charging and distributed grid resource adequacy management system

A system for fast charging of electric vehicles and grid resource adequacy management comprising:

• a computing device comprising a memory, a processor, and a non-volatile data storage device;
• a high-voltage battery pack;
• and
• an input isolator comprising power electronic components forming a circuit topography that cause the input isolator to:
• receive a control signal from a controller;
• connect to an AC grid;
• receive AC power from an AC grid;
• convert AC power to DC power using an AC-DC power converter;
• provide electrical isolation between the AC grid and DC connected internal components using a DC-DC converter;
• and
• facilitate bi-directional power flow between the AC grid and the high-voltage battery pack;
• and
• a high power DC-DC converter that:
• receives a control signal from a controller;
• and
• boosts the high-voltage battery pack output voltage to voltage levels that support extreme fast charging of a broad range of electric vehicle architectures;
• and
• a controller comprising a first plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory of, and operating on the processor of, the computing device, wherein the first plurality of programming instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the computing device to:
• send a control signal to the input isolator;
• send a control signal to the high power DC-DC converter;
• monitor high-voltage battery pack health and status data;
• monitor power electronic health and status data;
• transmit and receive network charging data, via a cloud-based service application programming interface, to a distributed charging network;
• use the received network charging data to test, train, and implement machine learning processes to generate optimization algorithms;
• use the optimization algorithms to determine optimal operational power splits of energy reserves stored within the high-voltage battery pack;
• and
• use the optimal operational power splits to provide grid balancing operations using the energy reserves.
