Zusammenfassung:Electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) in an electric vehicle (EV) depot can be controlled to charge electric vehicles by their scheduled departure times. However, disturbances and other uncertainties can unexpectedly change the power required for charging over any given time period. Disclosed embodiments utilize energy-reserve profiles, associated with power infrastructure assets, as constraints in an optimization model to prevent the optimization from relying too heavily on last-minute charging, while still providing the optimization model with flexibility to balance competing objectives, in a fast and scalable manner. Each energy-reserve profile may decrease energy available to the associated power infrastructure asset over time, by increasing an energy reserve over time.
