Abstract
Methods and systems for an electric vehicle charging decision support system are provided. A system can include: a higher level agent configured to be connected to an energy grid and to receive a charging request from an electric vehicle and transmit the charging request to a virtual block agent; and a plurality of charging station agents connected to an energy service provider, the energy grid, and the virtual block agent. The virtual block agent can be configured to receive a respective power set-point and availability from the plurality of charging station agents and transmit a recommended energy price charged at a respective charging station to the energy service provider. The recommended price can maximize a probability of an electric vehicle agent choosing a particular charging station. The system facilitates a win-win situation for the mutual and simultaneous benefit of electric vehicles and the power grid.
