    Abstract: In one aspect, a method of managing a participation of a virtual power plant (VPP) comprising a plurality of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) in an ancillary service market for an electric grid is provided. The method comprises generating a bid for participating in the ancillary service marked over a time period, transmitting the bid to the ancillary service market, receiving a response from the ancillary service market indicating that the bid was accepted, and identifying a request from the ancillary service market for the VPP to provide grid support to the electric grid during the time period. The method further comprises generating, based on the bid and in response to the request, at least one charging profile for one or more of the EVSEs, and providing the at least one charging profile to the one or more of the EVSEs to implement the request for grid support.

    Abstract: A method of managing charging of an EV at a charger is provided. The method includes receiving charging information of a charging session of an EV at a charger, wherein the charging information includes a desired SOC and a vehicle type of the EV. The method also includes obtaining charging curves of a battery of the EV based on the vehicle type, receiving an electricity pricing for the charger, and optimizing a charging schedule based on the charging curves and the electricity pricing. The charging schedule includes price periods and corresponding charging power during the price periods. Optimizing a charging schedule further includes prioritizing charging power for the price periods according to the electricity pricing of the price periods. Further, the method includes outputting the optimized charging schedule.
