A Game-Theoretic Approach to Solve Competition between Multi-Type Electric Vehicle Charging and Parking Facilities

This paper investigates the competition problem between electric vehicle charging and parking desks for different owners using a non-cooperative Bertrand game. There is growing attention on vehicles from both policy makers public service provider, as well owners. The interaction entities forms (game), especially multi-type facilities. Most of existing studies platforms are about optimization platform scheduling strategy or game relationship EV users, but there lack exploration revenue platforms. In this paper, competitive interactions decks studied analyzed general game-theoretic framework, specifically Nikaido–Isoda solution. pricing model, strategies all players physical constraints, such distribution line capacity, taken into consideration. Through case studies, it clearly indicated that played charging/parking will always converge to Nash equilibrium point. Both providers customers could benefit an open fully energy ecosystem, which enhances overall social welfare.
