Infrastructure Charging Module (ICM)
Caldera ICM is a library of high-fidelity charging models for a wide variety of vehicles and supply equipments, validated by test data under a range of operating conditions. Caldera currently contains vehicle and supply equipment models for DirectXFC, eMosaic and EVs_at_Risk projects.
Caldera ICM depends on C++ compiler, git, cmake, python and pybind11 to compile.

git clone https://hpcgitlab.hpc.inl.gov/caldera_charge/caldera_charge_icm.git
If you are interested in the most up to date version of Caldera ICM, the development version is available in the develop branch.
git switch develop
To install Caldera ICM using cmake
cd caldera_charge_ICM
mkdir build
cmake -DPROJECT=<PROJECT_NAME> -DICM=<ON/OFF> ../
make
make install
If cmake cannot find C++ compiler, python or pybind11. They need to be pointed to its installed paths to find them. Refer to pybind11 and cmake documentations.
Caldera ICM typically installs three different compiled python libraries in the libs/ folder Caldera_ICM, Caldera_ICM_Aux and, Caldera_global.
-DPROJECT flag is used to specify the project specific EV-EVSE models to be used. Options are DirectXFC, eMosaic and EVs_at_Risk. -DICM flag turns ON/OFF compiling Caldera_ICM lib.
Caldera ICM is recommended to be used with Caldera Grid. Caldera Grid also provides co-simulation support with OpenDSS and ability to load in inputs and control charging using setpoints in python.
