This paper proposes a solution for the distributed dynamic assignment of a set of electric vehicles to a network of charging stations. Drivers of the electric vehicles and charging stations exchange messages using a communication protocol. Drivers of the vehicles send requests for the charging of their own vehicle in prefixed timeslots; charging stations perform a series of distributed optimizations in order to reach a common assignment of the vehicles needing to recharge and communicate the reached assignment to the drivers. The optimization problem is solved using some distributed multi-agent assignment algorithms: the stations reach a consensus solving some local integer linear programming problems. © 2014 IEEE.

Abstract
This paper proposes a solution for the distributed dynamic assignment of a set of electric vehicles to a network of charging stations. Drivers of the electric vehicles and charging stations exchange messages using a communication protocol. Drivers of the vehicles send requests for the charging of their own vehicle in prefixed timeslots; charging stations perform a series of distributed optimizations in order to reach a common assignment of the vehicles needing to recharge and communicate the reached assignment to the drivers. The optimization problem is solved using some distributed multi-agent assignment algorithms: the stations reach a consensus solving some local integer linear programming problems. © 2014 IEEE.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
