1. A method, performed by one or more computing devices, comprising:
- receiving input information associated with an electricity distribution network;
receiving information associated with one or more electric vehicles within the electricity distribution network;
determining, for each of the one or more electric vehicles, a recharging schedule for a specified period of time, the recharging schedule being based on at least the input information; and
for at least one unit of time during the specified period of time;
adjusting the recharging schedule for at least one of the one or more electric vehicles based at least in part on a determination of one or more system constraint violations in the electricity distribution network caused by recharging the one or more electric vehicles; and
wherein the determining comprises;
receiving information associated with one or more customer recharging schedules, each customer recharging schedule being associated with one of the one or more electric vehicles; and
optimizing a total demand of the electricity distribution network based on the one or more customer recharging schedules.

Abstract
Some embodiments determine, for electric vehicles within an electricity distribution network, optimal recharging schedules based on customer requirements. Some embodiments adjust the optimal recharging schedules to ensure that components of the electricity distribution network operate within their rated limits based on a node sensitivity approach.

9. A system comprising:
-
a memory comprising instructions executable by one or more processors; and the one or more processors coupled to the memory and operable to execute the instructions, the instructions causing the one or more processors to perform; receiving input information associated with an electricity distribution network; receiving information associated with one or more electric vehicles within the electricity distribution network; determining, for each of the one or more electric vehicles, a recharging schedule for a specified period of time, the recharging schedule being based on at least the input information; and for at least one unit of time during the specified period of time; adjusting the recharging schedule for at least one of the one or more electric vehicles based at least in part on a determination of one or more system constraint violations in the electricity distribution network caused by recharging the one or more electric vehicles; and wherein the system constraint violations comprise violations in voltages or currents in nodes and components of the electricity distribution network. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. One or more processors operable to cause an electricity distribution system to:
-
receive input information associated with an electricity distribution network; receive information associated with one or more electric vehicles within the electricity distribution network; determine, for each of the one or more electric vehicles, a recharging schedule for a specified period of time, the recharging schedule being based on at least the input information; and for at least one unit of time during the specified period of time; adjust the recharging schedule for at least one of the one or more electric vehicles based at least in part on a determination of one or more system constraint violations in the electricity distribution network caused by recharging the one or more electric vehicles; and transmit a message to a charging equipment for the at least one electric vehicle, causing the charging equipment to recharge the at least one electric vehicle to recharge based on the adjusted recharging schedule; and wherein the system constraint violations comprise violations in voltages or currents in nodes and components of the electricity distribution network.
