%TCaldera Change -- Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Simulation Platform
%XCaldera is a electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure simulation platform designed to study the impact of EV charging on the grid and develop strategies to manage charging. Its foundation is a library of high-fidelity EV charging models derived from extensive charging and battery testing data that INL has collected over the past decade. Caldera’s charging models accurately estimate charge power profiles, efficiency, and power factors for a wide variety of EVs and charging technologies under varying grid conditions. Caldera also contains smart charging algorithms for studying how to efficiently manage charging. Finally, Caldera has modules to explore how artificial intelligence can help drivers and automated vehicles make intelligent charging decisions. Caldera enables the co-simulation of the transportation network and the grid. By linking existing simulation tools with Caldera, the grid impact of EV charging can be accurately modeled.
