Is someone at your utility planning for managing electric vehicle charging, or developing EV load management programs now? If so, this online workshop series taught by industry experts will provide an excellent foundation as well as advanced approaches for the emerging area of managed charging.

WORKSHOPS WILL COVER

Workshop 1:

Program Design: EV Managed Charging and Demand Response

• Available technologies for connecting and managing EVs. This includes the pros and cons of electric meter data (AMI) disaggregation, vehicle telematics, device-based telematics, charger EVSEs and combinations of technologies.
• Proven methods for encouraging change in charging behavior. This will include considerations of active control versus behavioral program designs; event-based versus scheduled Load Management; and combination design approaches along with the benefits and limitations of each.
• Factors that should be considered in program design: Baseline data for program comparison/evaluation, sample sizes, program adoption rates, customer incentive design, marketing/outreach to gain customer involvement.

Workshop 2:

EV Managed Charging In-field Case Studies

• Describe the wide variety of programs along with detailed program parameters being implemented today.
• ​Showcase the array of designs and their use cases, including behavioral management, scheduled end-state charging, active and behavioral peak demand response, and peak/off-peak pricing.
• Describe the variety of incentives provided to EV drivers, including discounted electric rates, one-time up-front payments, ongoing monthly payments, event-based rewards, and various penalties, “strikes”, and warnings.
• Program outcomes can be used to benchmark new programs, demonstrate impacts of programs in the field, and create specific EV load shapes under various programs and weather conditions. Demonstrate how this information can be used in transportation electrification plans.

This is a utility-only event, and we can expect participants to be from various departments, including:

• Electric transportation
• Demand-side management programs and marketing
• Distribution and system planning
• Load forecasting
• Rate design

WORKSHOP INSTRUCTORS

Katie Parkinson, MSc.

Vice President of Utility Services, Rolling Energy Resources & Project Director, Apex Analytics

Katie is an expert in designing and executing EV load management programs for investor-owned utilities, municipalities, and G&T power providers all over the country. Her focus on the human behavior elements of program design gives her a different perspective than simply economic and technical evaluation. Katie’s 15 years of experience in demand-side management and demand management intersects with her deep knowledge of EV managed charging programs. She serves as the co-chair of the Peak Load Management Alliance (PLMA) electrification transformation interest group. Katie earned her bachelor’s degree in Economics and Environmental Studies from the University of California Santa Cruz, and a MSc in Behavioral Sciences from the London School of Economics.

Daniel M. Violette, Ph.D.

Director, Apex Analytics & Director, Rolling Energy Resources

He has years of experience in the design of demand-response programs spanning direct load control, behavioral programs, and pricing-based programs. He has previously taught training courses at DistribuTech, DSM/DR for EPRI, NARUC, and AESP. He was also the Chair of EPRI’s innovative pricing conference for 3 years.

Dr. Violette has evaluated over 100 demand response programs, and he was a co-author of California’s initial set of Protocols for Estimating Demand Response Impacts across both load control and pricing programs. He was a founder of the Peak Load Management Alliance and served 3 elected terms as Vice Chair. He authored PLMA position papers on DR for presentation at technical conferences at the PJM ISO, ISO NE, and other reliability organizations looking at the potential for DR to become a reliable resource. Dr. Violette received his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Colorado where he received honors in the fields of Econometrics and Industrial Organization.

Scott Dimetrosky

President, Apex Analytics & Chief Executive Officer at Rolling Energy Resources

Mr. Dimetrosky is an expert in utility-managed charging programs, having built Rolling Energy Resources from the ground up. He brings his decades of expertise in planning and evaluating dozens of utility energy-efficiency, load management, and market transformation programs. As a co-founder of RER, Mr. Dimetrosky helps coordinate all aspects of the business, including utility outreach, software development, and end-use customer MyCharge reporting. He has an M.B.A. in Marketing Research & Quantitative Methods from Cornell University and a B.A. (Magna Cum Laude) in Sociology from the University of Michigan.
