Energy scheduling and allocation in electric vehicle energy distribution networks

Abstract

The energy storage of Electric Vehicles (EVs) can be utilized by Smart Grid through Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) that allows EVs to feed energy stored in their batteries back to the grid as needed. Combining V2G and the mobility of vehicles, EVs can provide a natural energy transmission system called EV energy network. The main idea of this paper focus on how to schedule and allocate energy from energy sources to places where energy is needed. The features of energy route in EV energy network are analyzed and a greedy algorithm based on the hypergraph is presented. Simulations using real-world transporting data in Manhattan and the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority(PVTA). Simulations show that this method is efficient.
