Power Scheduling Scheme for a Charging Facility Considering the Satisfaction of Electric Vehicle Customers

Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs) are rapidly becoming a popular choice for transportation due to their low emissions and high fuel efficiency. However, one of the major challenges in EV adoption is the lack of charging infrastructure and the potential for grid overload during peak demand. To address these challenges, we propose a power scheduling scheme for a charging facility that optimizes power utilization and enhances the user experience of the EV drivers. The scheme considers the satisfaction of vehicle users by balancing the charging demands of the vehicles with the power supply capabilities of the facility. Our results demonstrate that the proposed scheme effectively reduces charging time and enhances the accessibility of charging stations, thereby improving the user experience, and encouraging EV adoption. The scheme also optimizes power utilization and reduces peak demand on the grid, thus contributing to the overall sustainability of the transportation system.
