Coordination of Electric Vehicle Charging/Routes to Reduce Charging Time
Description
Although the increasing penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) has reduced the emissionof the greenhouse gas caused by vehicles, it would lead to serious congestion
on-road and in charging stations. Strategic coordination of EV charging would benefit
the transportation system. However, it is difficult to model a congestion game,
which includes choosing charging routes and stations. Furthermore, conventional algorithms
cannot balance System Optimization and User Equilibrium, which can cause
a huge waste to the whole society. To solve these problems, this paper shows (1) a
congestion game setup to optimize and reveal the relationship between EV users,
(2) using ε – Nash Equilibrium to reduce the inefficient impact from the self-minded
the behavior of the EV users, and (3) finding the relatively optimal solution to approach
Pareto-Optimal solution. The proposed method can reduce more total EVs charging
time and most EV users’ charging time than existing methods. Numerical simulations
demonstrate the advantages of the new method compared to the current methods.
