SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PREDICTING DEMANDS FOR EXCHANGEABLE ENERGY STORAGE DEVICES

The present disclosure relates to methods (700) and associated systems for managing a plurality of device-exchange stations (20). The method (700) includes, for example, (1) receiving empirical information regarding exchanges of energy storage devices from each of the plurality of device-exchange stations (20) in an initial time period (701); (2) determining a target time period (703); (3) identifying a plurality of reference factors and associated weighting values based on empirical information regarding exchanges of energy storage devices (705); (4) determining demand information during the target time period for each of the plurality of device-exchange stations (20) during the target time period for each of the device-exchange stations (20) (707); and (5) forming a plurality of charging plans for each of the plurality of device-exchange stations (20) according to demand information during the target time period (709).
