METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING AND CONTROLLING ELECTRICAL VEHICLE CHARGING EVENTS
First Claim
1. A system for managing and controlling charging of electric vehicles via one or more charging stations over an advanced metering infrastructure, wherein one or more smart meters are deployed in the one or more charging stations, the system comprising:
- an electric vehicle cluster unit in communication with a processor and configured to create one or more electric vehicle clusters, the one or more electric vehicle clusters being logical representations of at least the one or more charging stations in one or more distribution circuit areas;
a smart meter management unit in communication with the processor and configured to;
generate one or more policies for controlling electric vehicle charging based on data obtained using the one or more electric vehicle clusters;
analyze if meter data obtained from the one or more smart meters using the one or more electric vehicle clusters are in compliance with the generated one or more policies, wherein the meter data is obtained using the one or more electric vehicle clusters identified with one or more electric vehicle charging events;
generate one or more policy violation action data by applying one or more predetermined rules if it is determined that the one or more policies are violated; and
send the policy violation action data to the one or more smart meters via the identified one or more electric vehicle clusters for controlling electric vehicle charging.

Abstract
A system and method for managing and controlling charging of electric vehicles via charging stations over an advanced metering infrastructure is provided. Smart meters are deployed in the charging stations. Electric vehicle clusters which are logical representations of at least the charging stations are created. Policies for controlling electric vehicle charging based on data obtained using the electric vehicle clusters are generated. Further, it is analyzed if meter data obtained from the smart meters using the electric vehicle clusters comply with the generated policies. The meter data is obtained using the electric vehicle clusters identified with electric vehicle charging events. Policy violation action data is generated by applying predetermined rules if it is determined that the policies are violated. The policy violation action data is then sent to the identified electric vehicle clusters for controlling electric vehicle charging.
