Summary of the several decision trees.

Decision tree Description
EV command decision tree
  • Monitors the current SOC of EV batteries.

  • Considers user input (departure time, travel distance).

  • Selects energy source: prioritizes renewables, switches to grid if needed.

  • Includes an emergency override option for urgent charging needs.

SOC target decision tree
  • Calculates the target SOC based on travel distance and emergency needs.

  • Estimates the time required to reach target SOC considering available energy.

  • Prioritizes renewable energy and low-cost grid periods.

  • Dynamically adjusts SOC based on real-time conditions.

Accumulator load management decision tree
  • Manages excess renewable energy by storing it in the accumulator.

  • Uses the accumulator to support loads before switching to the grid.

  • Optimizes costs by using stored energy during peak grid pricing.

  • Stabilizes the grid by balancing energy flow between sources.
