EMPIRICAL VERIFICATION OF REAL-TIME CHARGING RESPONSES FOLLOWING LONGTERM SCHEDULING FOR ELECTRIC TWO-WHEELER CHARGING STATIONS

Abstract

In Vietnam, the potential of electric two-wheelers in urban traffic necessitates the need for charging infrastructure as well as charging solutions for this means of transportation. Studies show that the optimal charging scheduling algorithms for electric two-wheeler charging stations often output charging schedules for each vehicle over multiple timesteps. To realize the charging schedule, research on charging and discharging responses following optimal charging commands at timesteps should be implemented. This study aims to empirically verify the real-time responses following long-term optimal charging schedules in experimental conditions. Through empirical testing, this research complements and affirms the practical feasibility aspect of long-term optimal charging schedules for electric two-wheeler charging stations in Vietnam. The processes involved in developing the testing workbench of the charging station and measuring the charging/ discharging responses are also discussed in the study. The research results realize that electric two-wheeler charging stations can feasibly meet long-term optimal charging schedules in real-world conditions.
