Abstract

The optimization of private charging pile sharing mode operation and the intelligent interaction between electric vehicles and the energy system are crucial. Its social benefits include improving resource utilization and complementing existing charging networks. However, several practical challenges constrain the efficient operation of this innovative business model, namely the private charging pile sharing mode. This paper focuses on the operation of private charging pile sharing mode and its vehicle-to-grid energy management, which encompasses multiple dimensions of the characteristics of innovative business models, the integration of emerging technologies and the complex interactions. Moreover, this paper constructs a multi-objective optimization model that incorporates key elements of uncertain information, decarbonization management, and demand response strategies, and analyzes their potential impacts. Meanwhile, intelligent dispatching and matching mechanisms are used to improve the utilization of private charging resources, balance supply and demand, and effectively manage energy flows. The numerical analysis using real data demonstrates the feasibility and potential of the operational optimization of innovative business models, and verifies the enhancement of multiple economic and environmental gains, such as alleviating the shortage of public charging facilities, reducing charging costs, and improving decarbonization management capabilities.
