ABSTRACT
We are releasing ACN-Data, a dynamic dataset of workplace EV charging which currently includes over 30,000 sessions with more added daily. In this paper we describe the dataset, as well as some interesting user behavior it exhibits. To demonstrate the usefulness of the dataset, we present three examples, learning and predicting user behavior using Gaussian mixture models, optimally sizing on-site solar generation for adaptive electric vehicle charging, and using workplace charging to smooth the net demand Duck Curve.
