Demand Side Management with Multiple EVs Sharing Parking Units in Electricity Market

Sharing parking is a core content in the sharing economy. However, for electric vehicles (EVs), parking is not only a matter of renting price and parking time, but also a matter of battery charging. Moreover, when there are multiple parking lots, the competition between them should also be considered. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a new framework of multiple shared car parking units. This framework considers the charging optimization of EVs in demand side management and electricity market optimization of parking units. The electricity market structure is binary market structure, which is more complex and popular. The numerical study demonstrates that the proposed framework and models can not only optimize the electric costs of the cars but also the costs of the units.
