Description
The Department of Energy is seeking to commercialize the Caldera Charge technology, an open-source software for simulating electric vehicle charging infrastructure and its impact on the grid. The technology features two core components: the Infrastructure Charging Module (ICM) and the Charging Decision Module (CDM). The ICM focuses on high-fidelity EV charging models and intelligent charging algorithms, while the CDM offers innovative scheduling mechanisms for optimizing public charging infrastructure. The technology is written in C++11 and Python and enables detailed analysis and strategic planning across transportation and electrical networks.
The key benefits of Caldera Charge include targeted simulation modules, accurate grid impact analysis, innovative charging management, scalable and flexible design, and comprehensive co-simulation capability. The technology has various applications, including utility companies, urban and transportation planners, academic and research institutions, EV charging service providers, and policy makers and regulatory bodies.
• Targeted simulation modules for infrastructure modeling and decision strategies
• Accurate grid impact analysis using extensive data
• Innovative charging management with cutting-edge algorithms
• Scalable and flexible design supporting high-performance computing
• Comprehensive co-simulation capability bridging transportation and grid simulations
