Intelligent electric vehicle supply equipment energy management

A computer-implemented method comprising, at a centralized controller associated with a plurality of decentralized controllers:

• executing one or more computer models to generate centralized predictions of a unit commitment for a first period of time, wherein the unit commitment is a charging and discharging schedule of energy storage systems to one or more electrical vehicle charging stations of a plurality of electrical vehicle charging stations, wherein the centralized predictions relate to energy usage across the plurality of electric vehicle charging stations;
• generating one or more centralized baseline signals based on the centralized predictions;
• distributing the one or more centralized baseline signals to a plurality of decentralized controllers to control unit commitments for a plurality of electric vehicle charging stations based on the centralized predictions for the first period of time;
• receiving, from one or more decentralized controllers of the plurality of decentralized controllers, a locally-updated baseline signal, wherein the locally-updated baseline signal is a modified version of a centralized baseline signal in the one or more centralized baseline signals, modified based on local monitoring of a subset of electric vehicle charging stations;
• and
• updating the one or more centralized baseline signals based on the locally-updated baseline signal.

One or more non-transitory storage media storing instructions which, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause performance of a process comprising, at a decentralized controller associated with a plurality of electric vehicle charging stations:

• receiving a centralized baseline signal that controls a unit commitment for the plurality of electrical vehicle charging stations based on centralized predictions of the unit commitment for a first period of time, wherein the unit commitment is a charging and discharging schedule of one or more energy storage systems to one or more electrical vehicle charging stations of the plurality of electrical vehicle charging stations;
• monitoring interactions at the plurality of electric vehicle charging stations during the first period of time;
• updating the centralized baseline signal based on the interactions to produce one or more locally-updated baseline signals which comprise modifications of the centralized baseline signal;
• communicating the one or more locally-updated baseline signals to the plurality of electric vehicle charging stations;
• and
• controlling energy flow from the one or more energy storage systems to at least one of the electric vehicle charging stations in the plurality of electric vehicle charging stations based on the one or more locally-updated baseline signals.
