Real-Time Charging Navigation of Electric Vehicles: A Non-cooperative Game Approach

This paper proposes an integrated electric vehicle (EV) charging navigation framework which takes into consideration the impacts from both the power system and transportation system. The proposed framework links the power system with transportation system through the charging navigation of EVs. It benefits the two systems by attracting EVs to charge at offpeak hours and saving the time of EV owners with real-time navigation. Based on the formulated framework, a noncooperative game approach is proposed in this study to model the competition between electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs). The simulation results show that the proposed integrated charging navigation approach is effective in improving both the reliability and economic profits of the power system.
