Method for precise demand response and control, and a system thereof
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for reducing electric consumption by an electric vehicle connected to a charging station, the method comprising:
- providing a wireless network for communication between an electric vehicle and a tracking server operated by a trusted entity;
collecting, on the tracking server, user and location information for charging electric vehicles (EVs);
receiving, at the tracking server, a demand response signal determined and transmitted by a utility using a predictive model in response to at least predicting an excessive load condition for a sector;
identifying, at the tracking server, electric vehicles charging in the sector based on each EV'"'"'s location information and the demand response signal; and
transmitting, from the tracking server, a charge interruption signal to the identified electric vehicles in the sector prior to an occurrence of the excessive load condition.
