Talk: Adoption of Reinforcement Learning for EV Charging Station Network Planning and Operations

: November 9, 2023
: Zoom
: IEEE Malaysia Chapter Section
:
: This talk introduces a new dynamic pricing framework for EV charging stations that can offer multiple charging options to customers over a finite time horizon. The charging price can be dynamically adjusted to maximize the quality of service (QoS) with a differentiated service requirement level (SRL) whenever the arrival rates and queuing system capacities of the charging systems are given at the end of a time period. The dynamic pricing problem is formulated as a finite-discrete horizon Markov decision process (MDP) with a mixed state space. A customized deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approach is employed to solve the examined EV dynamic pricing problem. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
