EV Charging Load Planning Agent

A charging design that stays within panel and transformer limits at an acceptable demand cost

EV Charging Load Planning Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Adding chargers to a site can overload a panel or raise the demand charge more than the charger saves. This agent takes the site's interval load data and the planned number and type of chargers. It models the added load hour by hour, checks it against panel and transformer capacity, and estimates the tariff effect, including demand charges. If a limit is exceeded, it tests staggered or capped charging schedules and reruns until the limits hold. It compares each design on peak load, cost and charging time. The engineer approves the design. Edge case: the model passes in winter but a summer afternoon peak adds air conditioning load, so the agent tests the hottest week before accepting.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

Design must keep the peak below 80% of equipment rating. Among passing designs, choose the one with the lowest demand cost that meets charging needs.

  • Keep peak under 80% of equipment rating
  • Prefer staggered charging before capacity upgrades
  • Test the highest demand week of the year
  • Flag any design that leaves vehicles under 80% charged by departure

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Safety margin (default 80%)
  • Charging windows
  • Tariff to use
  • Weather weeks to test

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Final charger design
  • Any capacity upgrade request

Hard limits

  • Never signs off equipment capacity
  • Never changes tariff elections

It stops when

  • Done: design passes all limits
  • Stop: no design meets limits without an upgrade

An example run

What happensA depot with a 400 amp panel wanted eight 19 kW chargers. At full power the peak reached 410 amps at 6 pm, so the limit check failed. The agent tested a 12 kW cap and staggered starts, giving 295 amps and vehicles fully charged by 6 am. A heat wave week raised building load, so the second check passed only after delaying two chargers. The engineer approved it.
