Abstract:

With the increasing scale of electric vehicles (EVs), the adaptive management of its charging behavior becomes an urgent problem to be solved. From the point of view of charging service provider, an online management algorithm for EV charging is proposed based on the Lyapunov optimization theory under the random environment in this paper, considering renewable sources energy, storage equipment, time-varying electricity price, and the tolerable delay of EV, with an aim of maximizing the benefits of charging service providers (i.e., minimizing the cost of electricity purchased). The performance of the proposed algorithm is analyzed to verify that it can achieve near-optimal optimization results without any a priori statistical information about the system inputs (renewable energy generation, charging demand, and time-varying electricity price). The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the economic cost by 27.3% compared with the benchmark algorithm.
