• Abstract: We formulate a mixed integer linear program (MILP) for a platoon-based vehicle-to-vehicle charging (PV2VC) technology designed for modular vehicles (MVs) and solve it with a genetic algorithm (GA). A set of numerical experiments with five scenarios are tested and the computational performance between the commercial software applied to the MILP model and the proposed GA are compared on a modified Sioux Falls network. By comparison with the optimal benchmark scenario, the results show that the PV2VC technology can save up to 11.07% in energy consumption, 11.65% in travel time, and 11.26% in total cost. For the PV2VC operational scenario, it would be more beneficial for long-distance vehicle routes with low initial state of charge, sparse charging facilities, and where travel time is perceived to be higher than energy consumption costs.

  Multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (MADRL) has proven its effectiveness in EV charging control. Existing MADRL-based approaches fail to consider the natural power flow of EV charging/discharging in the distribution network. This paper proposes a novel approach that combines multi-EV charging/discharging with a radial distribution network (RDN) operating under optimal power flow.
