Cloud computing in electric vehicles charging control and dispatch optimization

Charging of large-scale electric vehicles will have a significant impact on the grid so that their charging schedule needs to be optimized. The traditional centralized scheduling method requires high performance in information exchange and computing. Based on the analysis of the features of electric vehicle charging load and the research of cloud computing, we propose a cloud computing based schedule platform for optimal charging of electric vehicles. In addition, the function and implementation of the three basic modules of the platform (the data collection module, the cloud computing center and the control center) are exposed. The platform performs well in optimal scheduling for electric vehicles. In addition, the platform can also make full use of the computing resource and reduce the communication congestion.
