Optimal Scheduling for Smart Charging of Electric Vehicles Using Dynamic Programming

We are proposing a formulation of the smart charging problem that can be solved by dynamic programming. It allows the optimal charging schedule of EVs to be determined in order to minimize the cost considering the different driving patterns of each car owner as well as the electricity prices varying according to supply and demand. Conclusive experiments are made through simulations, relying upon a database storing the history of the real use of vehicles over several months and an hourly electricity price.
