Description
Summary:With the rise of electric vehicles, the key of electric vehicle charging is how to charge them in residential areas and other closed environments. Addressing this problem is extremely important for avoiding adverse effects on the load and stability of the neighboring grids where multi-user centralized charging takes place. Therefore, we propose a charging dynamic scheduling algorithm based on user bidding. First, we determine the user charging priority according to bidding. Then, we design a resource allocation policy based on game theory, which could assign charge slots for users. Due to users leaving and urgent user needs, we found an alternate principle that can improve the flexibility slot utilization of charging. Simulation results show that the algorithm could meet the priority needs of users with higher charging prices and timely responses to requests. Meanwhile, this algorithm can ensure orderly electric vehicle charging, improve power utilization efficiency, and ease pressure on grid loads.
