PSO-based method to find electric vehicle's optimal charging schedule under dynamic electricity price

Owning to greenhouse effect and exhaustible gasoline, there is a need for the automobile industry to develop electric vehicles (EVs). EV owners' major concern is about how to minimize operating cost under dynamic market electricity price. Optimization of a charging scenario draws great attention from the researchers worldwide. This paper presents a particle swarm optimization (PSO) based optimization approach that can help EV owners achieve the most economical charging behavior.
