However, managing individual charging sessions requires information about the expected session duration and energy demand, which are not available at the beginning of a session. In this work, a novel predictive workflow based on two causality-informed machine learning approaches with different levels of generalization is proposed to predict individual session duration and energy demand.

The concept of the system is based on a time-discretized scheduling approach that incorporates all relevant assets at the hub to charge the EVs without creating grid congestion problems. Since EV charging schedules in general have to be determined based on incomplete and often inaccurate forecasts and information, the scheduler is combined with an online control policy that operates to compensate for forecast errors or that can be used to react on external market price signals or congestion information. A simulation study of the scheduling concept and its underlying model shows that incorporating the current peak-tariff structure used in the Netherlands into the EMS can contribute to reducing the peak demand on the grid throughout the year for the proposed charging hub by 8.4%. The simulations furthermore show that the application of a peak shaving approach can lead to a peak load reduction of up to 36%, at only a 2.6% increase in total operational costs. The research objective of this study is to investigate how the theoretical model of the EMS can be applied in a real-world implementation. For this, the EMS is implemented in a real-life operational demonstration of the concept with real devices, data and users. The demonstration of the EMS in a real-world implementation advances the state of knowledge on these topics by demonstrating conflicting interests the lack of information-exchange between different stakeholders and the effect of this on the EV charging ecosystem.

A route optimization model is employed to direct EVs toward the most suitable CSs, followed by the introduction of two scheduling models: (1) a social welfare maximization model and (2) a game-theoretic iterative framework. These models aim to optimize EV charging locations while increasing CS profitability. EVs scheduling is performed using a mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) approach, offering critical insights into its applicability across different scenarios. The numerical results demonstrate that coordinated EV scheduling substantially enhances the operational efficiency of E-mobility systems in both centralized and decentralized configurations.

In Test System 2, cost reductions are 12 % and 7 % for the social welfare and game-based models, respectively.

Firstly, multi-timescale P2P transactions mechanism is proposed to coordinate the heterogeneous resources between prosumers. In day-ahead stage, prosumers engage in electricity transactions using expected output of RES. In intraday stage, flexible resources are traded among prosumers to mitigate prediction deviation of RES. Meanwhile, the Nash bargaining theory is introduced to allocate the interests. Then, to determine reasonable flexibility requirement in intraday stage, a two-side chance constrained economic dispatch (TS-CCED) model is proposed, in which DSO can set the reference requirement interval at given confidence level to balance the economy and safety of system operation. Finally, to reduce the computational complexity, the Gaussian mixture model is applied to convert the TS-CCED model into a convex optimization problem with guaranteed accuracy.
