SYSTEM TO PRIORITIZE POWER DELIVERY FROM A CHARGING STATION TO ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Abstract:

Some embodiments provide a system to prioritize power delivery from a charging station to electric vehicles. The charging station may include a communication port to receive a charge request from an electric vehicle associated with a delta platform certificate. The charging station may evaluate the delta platform certificate to determine if the electric vehicle is associated with a prioritized charging category (e.g., if the vehicle is an ambulance, police care, fire truck, etc.). A constrained optimizer may allocate power to the electric vehicle, relative to other electric vehicles being charged at the charging station, based at least in part on said determination. A charge pump may then provide power to the electric vehicle in accordance with a result from the constrained optimizer.
