Colorado Residential Resiliency and Managed Charging: Cooperative Research and Development Final Report, CRADA Number: CRD-05-00167 (Project 7)

This Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) validated and modeled impacts of electric vehicle (EV) home charging on service transformers; analyzed diverse grid locations and configurations to determine 'risk factors'; finalized/delivered new design tools and typical EV load curves; and improved/issued new construction standards for transformers, secondaries, and services. To ensure residential charging equity, smart charge management strategies will be studied and analyzed with the goal of creating affordable demand charges for customers.
