A Survey on Coordinated Charging Methods for Electric Vehicles

Dathewbhalang Tariang, Gitu Das

Abstract


Electric vehicles (EVs) is regarded as one of the most effective ways to reduce oil and gas use. EVs (electric vehicles) have many advantages over ICEVs (internal combustion engine vehicles), including zero pollution, little noise, and exceptional energy efficiency. Even though an EV is known to have a three times higher fuel efficiency than an ICEV, the driving range is often significantly lower because batteries have a lower energy density than gasoline or diesel. Over the next few decades, it is anticipated that the number of electric vehicles will increase significantly due to concerns about pollution and technological advancements in the sector. Utilizing a variety of energy sources will boost energy security while reducing emissions and fuel usage. A paradigm shift has been observed with the switch from internal combustion to electric car technology. For electric vehicles to become widely used, a charging infrastructure must be developed. However, there is a cap on the amount of electricity that can be used to charge the vehicles in a charging station. Rearranging charging times, specifically charging coordination can help optimize the distribution of the available power among the vehicles. In this paper, a review of the various coordinated charging methods has been presented. A detailed comparison of the methods has been done.
