À propos de
l'événement

Le Centre interuniversitaire de recherche sur les réseaux d’entreprise, la logistique et le transport (CIRRELT) vous invite à un séminaire donné par Dr Chun Wang.

Ce séminaire sera présenté en anglais.

Abstract

Compared with traditional scheduling problems in transportation research, electric vehicle (EV) charging scheduling poses additional challenges attributable to the significant customer involvement in service processes and the integration with power grids management. In EV charging scheduling, customer individual preferences and utilities are important determinant in constructing scheduling solutions with high resource utilization and customer satisfaction. In the mean time, intelligent integration with power grids enabled by smart grid technologies presents the opportunity to improve power grids efficiency and stability through coordinated EV charging scheduling.

In this talk, I will discuss the challenges of developing EV charging scheduling systems from both customer satisfaction and power grids management perspectives. I will also survey important solution approaches proposed so far in the literature. Research opportunities in EV charging scheduling and its integration with other renewable energy applications will be discussed in detail as well.
