Electric vehicles (EVs) have been growing rapidly in popularity in recent years and have become a future trend. It is an important aspect of user experience to know the Remaining Charging Time (RCT) of an EV with confidence. However, it is difficult to find an algorithm that accurately estimates the RCT for vehicles in the current EV market. The maximum RCT estimation error of the Tesla Model X can be as high as 60 minutes from a 10 % to 99 % state-of-charge (SOC) while charging at direct current (DC). A highly accurate RCT estimation algorithm for electric vehicles is in high demand and will continue to be as EVs become more popular. There are currently two challenges to arriving at an accurate RCT estimate. First, most commercial chargers cannot provide requested charging currents during a constant current (CC) stage. Second, it is hard to predict the charging current profile in a constant voltage (CV) stage. To address the first issue, this study proposes an RCT algorithm that updates the charging accuracy online in the CC stage by considering the confidence interval between the historical charging accuracy and real-time charging accuracy data. To solve the second issue, this study proposes a battery resistance prediction model to predict charging current profiles in the CV stage, using a Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network (NN). The test results demonstrate that the RCT algorithm proposed in this study achieves an error rate improvement of 73.6 % and 84.4 % over the traditional method in the CC and CV stages, respectively.

We describe the architecture and algorithms of the Adaptive Charging Network (ACN), which was first deployed on the Caltech campus in early 2016 and is currently operating at over 100 other sites in the United States. The architecture enables real-ti me monitoring and control and supports electric vehicle (EV) charging at scale. The ACN adopts a flexible Adaptive Scheduling Algorithm based on convex optimization and model predictive control and allows for significant over-subscription of electrical infrastructure. We describe some of the practical challenges in real-world charging systems, including unbalanced three-phase infrastructure, non-ideal battery charging behavior, and quantized control signals. We demonstrate how the Adaptive Scheduling Algorithm handles these challenges, and compare its performance against baseline algorithms from the deadline scheduling literature using real workloads recorded from the Caltech ACN and accurate system models. We find that in these realistic settings, our scheduling algorithm can improve operator profit by 3.4 times over uncontrolled charging and consistently outperforms baseline algorithms when delivering energy in highly congested systems.
A total 19% of generation capacity in California is offered by PV units and over some months, more than 10% of this energy is curtailed. In this research, a novel approach to reduce renewable generation curtailments and increasing system flexibility by means of electric vehicles charging coordination is represented. The presented problem is a sequential decision making process, and is solved by fitted Q-iteration algorithm which unlike other reinforcement learning methods, needs fewer episodes of learning. Three case studies are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. These cases include aggregator load following, ramp service and utilization of non-deterministic PV generation. The results suggest that through this framework, EVs successfully learn how to adjust their charging schedule in stochastic scenarios where their trip times, as well as solar power generation are unknown beforehand.
EVs (Electric Vehicles) represent a green alternative to traditional fuel-powered vehicles. To enforce their widespread use, both the technical development and the security of users shall be guaranteed. Privacy of users represents one of the possible threats impairing EVs adoption. In particular, recent works showed the feasibility of identifying EVs based on the current exchanged during the charging phase. In fact, while the resource negotiation phase runs over secure communication protocols, the signal exchanged during the actual charging contains features peculiar to each EV. A suitable feature extractor can hence associate such features to each EV, in what is commonly known as profiling. In this paper, we propose EVScout2.0, an extended and improved version of our previously proposed framework to profile EVs based on their charging behavior. By exploiting the current and pilot signals exchanged during the charging phase, our scheme is able to extract features peculiar for each EV, allowing hence for their profiling. We implemented and tested EVScout2.0 over a set of real-world measurements considering over 7500 charging sessions from a total of 137 EVs. In particular, numerical results show the superiority of EVScout2.0 with respect to the previous version. EVScout2.0 can profile EVs, attaining a maximum of 0.88 recall and 0.88 precision. To the best of the authors knowledge, these results set a new benchmark for upcoming privacy research for large datasets of EVs.
Lithium-ion battery packs are usually composed of hundreds of cells arranged in series and parallel connections. The proper functioning of these complex devices requires suitable Battery Management Systems (BMSs). Advanced BMSs rely on mathematical m odels to assure safety and high performance. While many approaches have been proposed for the management of single cells, the control of multiple cells has been less investigated and usually relies on simplified models such as equivalent circuit models. This paper addresses the management of a battery pack in which each cell is explicitly modelled as the Single Particle Model with electrolyte and thermal dynamics. A nonlinear Model Predictive Control (MPC) is presented for optimally charging the battery pack while taking voltage and temperature limits on each cell into account. Since the computational cost of nonlinear MPC grows significantly with the complexity of the underlying model, a sensitivity-based MPC (sMPC) is proposed, in which the model adopted is obtained by linearizing the dynamics along a nominal trajectory that is updated over time. The resulting sMPC optimizations are quadratic programs which can be solved in real-time even for large battery packs (e.g. fully electric motorbike with 156 cells) while achieving the same performance of the nonlinear MPC.
Even with state-of-the-art defense mechanisms, cyberattacks in the electric power distribution sector are commonplace. Particularly alarming are load-altering (demand-side) cyberattacks launched through high-wattage assets, which are not continuously monitored by electric power utilities. Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCSs) are among such high-wattage assets and, therefore, cyber insurance can be an effective mechanism to protect EVCSs from economic losses caused by cyberattacks. This paper presents a data-driven cyber insurance design model for public EVCSs. Under some mildly restrictive assumptions, we derive an optimal cyber insurance premium. Then, we robustify this optimal premium against uncertainty in data and investigate the risk of insuring the EVCSs using Conditional Value-at-Risk. A case study with data from EVCSs in Manhattan, New York illustrates our results.
