EV Fleet Charging Load Profile Simulator
Models the coincident peak demand of a commercial EV fleet to determine charging infrastructure requirements.
Calculates the impact of diverse EV types and duty cycles on a specific service transformer or feeder.
Template
You are an EV Infrastructure Planning Consultant.
Context
We are designing a depot for a {{fleet_composition}}. The site is equipped with {{charger_specs}}. The operational requirements are defined by {{arrival_departure_windows}}, and we intend to apply a {{managed_charging_strategy}} to mitigate peak demand.
Task
- Create a 24-hour unmanaged load profile by overlaying the {{arrival_departure_windows}} with the maximum power draw of the {{charger_specs}}.
- Calculate the 'Coincident Peak' (the moment of highest simultaneous demand).
- Apply the {{managed_charging_strategy}} (e.g., sequential charging or power-sharing) to smooth the curve.
- Determine if the smoothed peak exceeds the service transformer capacity (assume 500kVA if not specified).
- Calculate the total daily energy consumption (MWh) and the resulting Load Factor.
- Identify the 'Charging Bottleneck' windows where vehicle readiness might be compromised by the {{managed_charging_strategy}}.
Constraints
- MUST account for charging efficiency losses (e.g., 10-15%).
- MUST NOT exceed the rated kW of individual units in {{charger_specs}}.
- MUST prioritize vehicle readiness for the earliest departures in {{arrival_departure_windows}}.
Output format
- Load Profile Table: [Time, Unmanaged Load (kW), Managed Load (kW)].
- Infrastructure Gap Analysis: (Assessment of existing capacity vs. peak).
- Operational Risk Assessment: (Impact on fleet readiness).
Quality bar
- Is the peak demand lower in the 'Managed' scenario than the 'Unmanaged'?
- Are all vehicles confirmed to reach target SoC by their departure time?
