• Abstract: With the recent advances in mobile energy storage technologies, electric vehicles (EVs) have become a crucial part of smart grids. When EVs participate in the demand response program, the charging cost can be significantly reduced by taking full advantage of the real-time pricing signals. However, many stochastic factors exist in the dynamic environment, bringing significant challenges to design an optimal charging/discharging control strategy. This paper develops an optimal EV charging/discharging control strategy for different EV users under dynamic environments to maximize EV users' benefits. We first formulate this problem as a Markov decision process (MDP). Then we consider EV users with different behaviors as agents in different environments. Furthermore, a horizontal federated reinforcement learning (HFRL)-based method is proposed to fit various users' behaviors and dynamic environments. This approach can learn an optimal charging/discharging control strategy without sharing users' profiles. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed real-time EV charging/discharging control strategy can perform well among various stochastic factors.

HUCA employs hierarchical actor-critic networks to dynamically reduce electricity costs in buildings, accounting for the needs of EV charging in the dynamic pricing scenario. Experiments on real-world electricity datasets under both simulated certain and uncertain departure scenarios demonstrate that HUCA outperforms baselines in terms of total electricity costs.
