The problem of centralized scheduling of large scale charging of electric vehicles (EVs) by a service provider is considered. A Markov decision process model is introduced in which EVs arrive randomly to the charging facility with random demand and completion deadlines. The service provider faces random charging costs, convex non-completion penalties, and a peak power constraint that limits the maximum...
We consider a system where inelastic demand for electric power is met from three sources: the grid, in-house renewables such as wind turbines or solar panels, and an in-house energy storage device. In our setting, power demand, renewable power supply, and cost for grid power are all time-varying and stochastic. Further, there are limits and efficiency issues for charging and discharging the energy...
We construct a dynamic stochastic model to study the scheduling problem for battery charging of multiple (possibly a large number of) PHEVs. Our model incorporates the stochasticity in future PHEV arrival process and future renewable generation. The objective of scheduling is to maximize the overall social welfare, which is derived from total customer utility, the electricity cost associated with...
