Intelligent charging station in 5G environments: Challenges and perspectives

Abstract

Summary The popularity of the electric vehicles has been growing due to the concern of increase in environmental pollution. In order to overcome the environmental issues, electric vehicles have been introduced all over the globe. As the use and number of electric vehicles is growing, there is a great demand to identify the sustainable solutions for intelligent charging station dedicated to electric vehicles. The objective of this paper is to explore the possibilities for intelligent charging station using 5G services. This paper is a state‐of‐the‐art concept to identify the current challenges and issues of intelligent charging station. It should be noted that in the future, the use of the smart charging station will dramatically improve the efficiency of current charging stations. It is identified based on several existing techniques that the biggest challenges are the connectivity between the vehicles and among different charging stations. This manuscript could be useful for researchers working on intelligent charging station worldwide and on their integration with the recent communication technologies like 5G. The features of intelligent charging stations combined with the fifth‐generation network represent a new path for humanity and introduce a safer and more advanced environment. From data privacy to human safety, the network provides enough resources to rise driving quality, time and fuel economy and human lives saving. The results of this research can be well applied in the industry or in the field of academic research.

Research and application of power communication network terminal based on 5G technology

“…As a 5G network performance test tool, the probe can effectively detect network delay, jitter, packet loss and other information between two 5G terminals [9] . The netfilter technology provided by the linux kernel is used to write a kernel module.…”

Design and Numerical Implementation of V2X Control Architecture for Autonomous Driving Vehicles

“…However, they do not account for emergency scenarios where the platoons on the highway would require more information about traffic, accidents, weather conditions further away from them on the road as they would not know how to refrain themselves from such an emergency situation if their information database only consists of the local driving environment rather than global driving environment. Therefore, V2I communication is necessary along with platooning, and therefore simulations are an essential tool to study the ability of different V2I technologies to meet the requirements of the ITS applications [28,29]. A comprehensive simulation framework to investigate the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) performance in noisy communication conditions is presented by [30].…”

Study on the interaction of vehicle-to-grid and its impact on power quality of electric grid

“…Simultaneously, optimizing intelligent charging stations and enabling vehicle-grid interaction are crucial development directions in the field. To enhance user convenience, the optimal number and location of charging stations can be determined [6]. Intelligent charging stations can automatically adjust the charging power based on the number of vehicles, maximizing the utilization of station resources.…”
