This module integrates the composite schedule(s) within EVerests energy management. For further information about smart charging and the
composite schedule calculation please refer to the OCPP1.6 specification.

The integration of the composite schedules are turned out by the optional requirement(s) `evse_manager_energy_sink`(interface: `external_energy_limits`)
of this module. Depending on the number of EVSEs configured, each composite limit is communicated via a seperate sink, including the composite schedule
for EVSE with id 0 (representing the whole charging station). The easiest way to explain this is with an example. If your charging station
has two EVSEs you need to connect three modules that implement the `evse_manager_energy_sink` interface: One representing evse id 0 and
has two EVSEs you need to connect three modules that implement the `external_energy_limits` interface: One representing evse id 0 and
two representing your actual EVSEs. Note that it is important to specify the connections in the EVerest config file in the correct order
(0,1,2).

This module defines a callback that gets executed every time charging profiles are changed, added or removed by the CSMS. The callback retrieves
the composite schedules for all EVSEs (including evse id 0) and calls the `set_external_limits` command of the respective requirement that implements
the `external_energy_limits` interface. In addition, the config parameter `PublishChargingScheduleIntervalS` defines a periodic interval to retrieve
the composite schedule also in case no charging profiles have been changed. The configuration paramater `PublishChargingScheduleDurationS` defines
the duration in seconds of the requested composite schedules starting now. The value configured for `PublishChargingScheduleDurationS` shall be greater
than the value configured for `PublishChargingScheduleIntervalS` because otherwise time periods could be missed by the application.
