| Abstract: |
We consider the problem of scheduling Electric Vehicle (EV)
charging within a single charging station aiming to maximize the number
of charged EVs, as well as the amount of charged energy. In so doing, we
propose one online optimal solution using Mixed Integer Programming
(MIP) techniques, and two online solutions which incrementally execute
the MIP algorithm each time an EV arrives to the charging station. More-
over, we apply agent based negotiation techniques between the station
and the EVs in order to service EVs when the MIP problem is initially
unsolvable due to insaficient resources (i.e., requested energy, charging
time window). We evaluate our solutions in a setting partially using real
data, and we show that when applying negotiation techniques, the num-
ber of EVs charged increases on average by 7%, energy utilization by
6:5%, while there is only a small deficit (about 10%) on average agent
utility which is unavoidable due to the fact that the initial incremental
demand-response problem is unsolvable. |
