Charging Coordination of Opportunistic EV Users at Fast Charging Station with Adaptive Charging

Rapid deployment of fast-charging stations (FCSs) with innovative charging coordination strategies can alleviate the potential driving range anxiety and long charging periods that make sever bottlenecks for the proliferation of Electric Vehicles (EVs). Therefore, this work proposes dynamic resource allocation and charging coordination strategies to exploit unused charging resources by registered slow charging users (SCUs) for charging opportunistic fast charging users (FCUs) using adaptive charging. This work analyzes strategies that maximize the charging resource utilization and charging completion while adhering all the constraints enforced by the utility grid. In this work, we use a queue to freeze the charging process of SCUs for attracting more FCUs till SCUs become critical. The proposed techniques are going to be useful for maximizing the overall profit of the FCS.
