Electric Vehicle Charging and Batteries Swapping Management Strategy with Photovoltaic Generation in Business Districts

Abstract The intermittent characteristics of photovoltaic generation present a challenge in its promotion and application in urban loads on the distribution network level. Integrated construction of photovoltaic generation, battery storage stations, and electric vehicles (EVs) provides a reasonable solution for photovoltaic applications in cities. With the increase in EVs, business districts (BDs) have become popular for EV charging and parking. By considering photovoltaic power and commuter demand, a new BD framework is proposed in this paper; this includes a battery swapping area, a quick charging area, and a slow charging area. Moreover, based on a multi-agent model, an EV charging management strategy is proposed. The feasibility of the BD framework and the rationality of the energy management strategy are verified in a simulation of 96 time slots. The EV charging management strategy realizes power shifting in the slow charging area, and, with the enhanced use of photovoltaic power, the total cost of EV charging can be decreased in BDs.
