System and method for aggregating electric vehicle loads for demand response events
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for aggregating electric vehicle loads for demand response events, comprising:
- receiving a demand response (DR) event request from a utility system indicative of a DR event for an area, the DR event request including at least one event parameter for participation in the DR event;
determining a first original equipment manufacturer (OEM) DR event load based on the DR event request and charging data received from electric vehicles associated with a first OEM;
comparing the first OEM DR event load to the at least one event parameter;
upon determining the first OEM DR event load does not meet the at least one event parameter, aggregating charging data from electric vehicles associated with a second OEM with the first OEM DR event load to determine an aggregated DR load;
comparing the aggregated DR event load to the at least one event parameter; and
upon determining the aggregated DR event load meets the at least one event parameter, transmitting the DR event request to electric vehicles associated with the first OEM and the second OEM identified to participate in the demand response event, wherein charging of the electric vehicles associated with the first OEM and the second OEM identified to participate in the demand response event is controlled according to the DR event request.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for aggregating electric vehicle loads for demand response events includes receiving a demand response (DR) event request from a utility system indicative of a DR event for an area. The DR event request includes at least one event parameter for participation in the DR event. The method includes determining a first original equipment manufacturer (OEM) DR event load for the area based on the DR event request and charging data received from electric vehicles associated with a first OEM. Upon determining the first original OEM DR event load does not meet the at least one event parameter, the method includes aggregating charging data from electric vehicles associated with a second OEM with the first OEM DR event load to determine an aggregated DR load for the area.

10. A system for aggregating electric vehicle loads for demand response events, comprising:
-
a first original equipment manufacturer (OEM) server for receiving charging data from electric vehicles associated with a first OEM; a processor operably connected for computer communication to the first OEM server; a demand response (DR) event module of the processor receives a DR event request from a utility system, the DR event request indicative of a DR event for an area and the DR event request including at least one event parameter for participation in the DR event; an aggregation module of the processor determines a first OEM DR event load based on the DR event request and charging data from the first OEM server, compares the first OEM DR event load to the at least one event parameter, and upon determining the first OEM DR event load does not meet the at least one event parameter, the aggregation module of the processor transmits the first OEM DR event load and the DR event request to a third party aggregation server; and a DR event initialization module of the processor receives from the third party aggregation server an aggregated DR event load, the aggregated DR event load based on aggregated charging data from electric vehicles associate with a second OEM and the first OEM DR event load, wherein the DR event initialization module compares the aggregated DR event load to the at least one event parameter, and upon determining the aggregated DR event load meets the at least one event parameter, the DR event initialization module transmits the DR event request to electric vehicles associated with the first OEM and the second OEM identified to participate in the DR event, and wherein charging of the electric vehicles identified to participate in the DR event is executed according to the DR event request as a result of receiving the DR event request from the DR event initialization module. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform a method, comprising:
-
receiving a demand response (DR) event request from a utility system indicative of a DR event for an area, the DR event request including at least one event parameter for participation in the DR event; determining a first original equipment manufacturer (OEM) DR event load based on the DR event request and charging data received from electric vehicles associated with a first OEM; comparing the first OEM DR event load to the at least one event parameter to determine whether the first OEM DR event load meets the at least one event parameter; upon determining the first OEM DR event load does not meet the at least one event parameter, aggregating charging data from electric vehicles associate with a second OEM with the first OEM DR event load to determine an aggregated DR event load; and transmitting the DR event request to electric vehicles associated with the first OEM and the second OEM identified to participate in the DR event, wherein charging of the electric vehicles identified to participate in the demand response event is controlled according to the DR event request. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
