Electric Vehicles Charging Stations Sharing Model Control

Abstract

The fast-growing electric car market inevitably requires the construction of new infrastructures for recharging vehicles. The design of new parking lots should be done by analyzing the expected profiles and the type of environment considered, in order to take full advantage of the technology and choose the charging modes that best suit that context. This article analyzes the different electric vehicle charging modes, the regulations that govern them and the possible types of parking. Subsequently, it is proposed a model of control and regulation of power flows that, depending on the type of parking and the types of charging stations, can manage up to four recharges simultaneously, without oversizing the infrastructure. This model, called Sharing Model Control (SMC), offers charging options that customers can select through an app interface; allowing them to choose the type of charging and its cost according to their needs. The main advantage of SMC is to allow the management of the same number of customers with a smaller installation of charging infrastructure, with all the economic benefits that come with it.
