EVNRG

EVNRG is an EV electrical demand simulation package that takes in trip data and turns it into useful energy data given a set of assumptions.

This project was inspired by an earlier effort to simulate electrical demand from a theoretical electrified fleet replacement. This tool is designed to track energy usage across an arbitrarily large fleet, with an arbitrary number of EVSE, and rules that govern when charging occurs, and what type of queuing logic to use.

• Documentation: https://evnrg.readthedocs.io.

Features

EVNRG takes in scenario definitions and interval travel data in order to generate arrays (Pandas Series) of:

• Electrical demand (per EVSE bank)

• Fuel consumption (per vehicle)

• Battery state (per vehicle)

• Deferred distance (per vehicle)

• EVSE occupancy (per EVSE bank)

TODO

• Write unit tests

• Create Dask dispatcher for parallelized simulations

• Implement geofenced rules

• Implement smart charging behavior (throttling, round-robin) for situations where a Bank’s maximum power is lower the sum total of each EVSE’s maximum output.

• Implement analyis (dependednt on openei-rates)
