• Abstract: Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations have become prominent in electricity grids in the past years. Analysis of EV charging sessions is useful for flexibility analysis, load balancing, offering incentives to customers, etc. Yet, the limited availability of such EV sessions data hinders further development in these fields. Addressing this need for publicly available and realistic data, we develop a synthetic data generator (SDG) for EV charging sessions. Our SDG assumes the EV inter-arrival time to follow an exponential distribution. Departure times are modeled by defining a conditional probability density function (pdf) for connection times. This pdf for connection time and required energy is fitted by Gaussian mixture models. Since we train our SDG using a large real-world dataset, its output is realistic.

  This article presents a location-based load forecasting of EV charging sites using a deep Multi-Quantile Temporal Convolutional Network (MQ-TCN) We conducted experiments on data from four charging sites, namely, Caltech, JPL, Office-1, and NREL, which have diverse EV user types. Our proposed deep MQ-TCN model exhibited a remarkable 28.93% improvement over the XGBoost model for a day-ahead load forecasting at the JPL charging site.

  "Smart" electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs) will be a key step toward achieving green transportation.

We propose an unsupervised deep learning-based mechanism to detect CMAs by monitoring the parameters involved in EV charging.
