Smart Charging of Electric Vehicles using Reinforcement Learning

The introduction of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in the existing Energy Grid raises many issues regarding Grid stability and charging behavior. Uncontrolled charging on the customer’s side may increase the already high peaks in the energy demand that lead to respective increase in the energy prices. We propose a novel smart charging algorithm that maximizes individual welfare and reduces the individ...

Charging electric vehicles in the smart grid

High level challenges that motivate the evolution towards smart grids include (i) the anticipated electrification of transportation, including electrical vehicles (EVs), and (ii) the increasing penetration of distributed renewable energy sources (DRES). This chapter will discuss how the extra grid load stemming from the EVs can be handled, including the context of reduced control over power gen...

Infrastructure Issues regarding the Ultrafast Charging of Electric Vehicles

This paper is devoted to the infrastructure issues arising from the ultrafast charging of electric vehicles in the timeframe of ~5 minutes. To mitigate variances and peaks caused by high energy transfer rate and pulse-like load, an ultrafast charging station must be partially decoupled from the utility grid by the usage of intermediate energy buffers. The perspective charging station load and i...
