Hi Paul,
Thank you very much for your message, and apologies for my belated response.
It will be helpful to have relevant EV charging profiles associated with residential and commercial buildings. Either, as a defined load profile (like the NREL OpenEI building load database), or an option to input the number of EVs expected at the premises. For the latter, the load requirements to be calculated automatically, based on the number of cars, and expected variations of the state of charge, absences, holidays etc. That said, it would be very beneficial to have that defined as a separate load requirement that needs to be met by the system or/and grid.
Next item is an inclusion of dedicated EV battery dispatch model. The model to have an option to treat the EV batteries as a battery back-up for the building, but at the same time imposing a restriction for the EV batteries to be fully charged by the time cars need to leave the premises.
The EV battery ideally would be an add-on to the stationary battery within the building.
I hope the above explains some of the capabilities, however please let me know if any further clarification would be helpful.
Kind regards and many thanks!
