Abstract
Electric vehicles (EVs) help reduce transportation emissions. A user-friendly charging infrastructure and efficient charging processes can promote their wider adoption. Low-power charging is effective for short-distance travel, especially when vehicles are parked for extended periods, like during daily commutes. These idle times present opportunities to improve coordination between EVs and service providers to meet charging needs. The present study examines strategies for coordinated charging in workplace parking lots to minimize the impact on the power grid while maximizing the satisfaction of charging demand. Our method utilizes a heuristic approach for EV charging, focusing on event logic that considers arrival and departure times and energy requirements. We compare various charging management methods in a workplace parking lot against a first-in-first-out (FIFO) strategy. Using real data on workplace parking lot usage, the study found that efficient electric vehicle charging in a parking lot can be achieved either through optimized scheduling with a single high-power charger, requiring user cooperation, or by installing multiple chargers with alternating sockets. Compared to FIFO charging, the implemented strategies allow for a reduction in the maximum charging power between 30 and 40%, a charging demand satisfaction rate of 99%, and a minimum SOC amount of 83%.
