Tune all planner parameters. Each setting has a direct effect on the SOC target curve, grid import gating, and PV routing decisions.
Effective at risk = 50:
Zone Thresholds:
Cheap: ≤20% of prices
Moderate: 20-43%
Expensive: 43-73%
Peak: >73% of prices
Gate Rates:
Moderate gate: 50% of idle rate
Expensive gate: 15% of idle rate
Other:
Base SOC shift: -12.5 pct pts
Emergency override: 20.0%
How far into the future the planner scans for probable EV arrivals. Longer windows smooth out the readiness curve but make it less responsive to sudden demand changes. 45 minutes covers the longest typical session.
Maximum SOC percentage points added to the base target when demand readiness is at its peak (score = 1.0). At 25%, during peak shopping hours the SOC target can be up to 25 percentage points above the base midpoint.
Base SOC target increase during bottom-25% price slots. In v2, this is combined with opportunistic pre-charging (which pushes target toward ceiling) and price spread arbitrage (6-hour look-ahead). The actual target in cheap slots will be significantly higher than this value alone.
SOC target decrease when electricity is in the 50-75th percentile. The planner avoids buying during these slots, letting SOC drift lower. Capped by the 50% readiness safety rule during high-demand hours.
SOC target decrease when electricity is in the top 25% of the day's prices. Grid imports are fully blocked during these slots (unless emergency override). This is the strongest cost avoidance signal.
Below this SOC level, all price gates are ignored and the grid charges the battery at normal idle rate regardless of electricity cost. This is the absolute safety floor. Set it high enough that the remaining energy can serve at least one typical 20 kWh session.
Values are percentages (0-100). A value of 85 at 11:00 means there is an 85% probability that at least one EV will arrive during the 11:00-11:59 window.
