Analysis of EV Charging Coordination Efficiency in Presence of Cheating Customers

Charging coordination is employed to efficiently serve electric vehicle (EV) charging requests without overloading the distribution network. Parameters such as parking duration, battery state-of-charge (SoC), and charging amount are provided by EVs to the charging coordination center to schedule the...

description Charging coordination is employed to efficiently serve electric vehicle (EV) charging requests without overloading the distribution network. Parameters such as parking duration, battery state-of-charge (SoC), and charging amount are provided by EVs to the charging coordination center to schedule their charging requests efficiently. The existing literature assumes that the customers always provide correct information. Unfortunately, customers may provide false information to gain higher charging priority. Assessing the impact of cheating behavior represents a significant and open problem. Herein paper, the impact of providing false information (e.g., parking duration) on the efficiency of the charging coordination mechanism is investigated. The charging coordination strategy is formulated as a linear optimization problem. Two different objectives are used to assess the impact of the objective function on the amount of performance degradation. Our investigations reveal that the degradation of the efficiency of the charging coordination mechanism depends on the percentage of cheating customers and cheating duration versus the typical parking duration. In addition, the impact of cheating behavior increases with the number of deployed chargers. Thus, the severity of the cheating impact will increase in the future as more fast chargers are allocated in charging networks.
