With the growing prevalence of electric vehicles and renewable energy technology, there arises the challenge of keeping efficient and reliable energy management in place in modern electricity networks. Hybrid photovoltaic (PV)-based EV charging stations with the inclusion of Energy Storage Systems (ESS) and Vehicle to Grid (V2G) capabilities have proven to be a viable solution toward minimizing reliance on the grid while efficiently utilizing renewable energy sources. Nonetheless, the intermittency of solar energy generation, stochastic charging patterns of EVs, and inherent shortcomings in traditional energy management systems (EMS) make optimal energy management rather difficult. This paper aims at developing an intelligent AI-based energy management strategy for a PV-based hybrid EV charging station that involves solar energy generation through PV, ESS, grid operations, EV charging loads, and bidirectional V2G functions. In the process, a traditional rule-based energy management strategy will be designed using a set of predefined operating conditions based on PV availability, load, and battery SOC. Given the inherent disadvantages of statically controlled The framework is realized through a simulation model using Python software and the performance analysis of the AI-supported EMS system is conducted based on a 24-hour operational period. The performance of the AI-assisted EMS system is compared to that of the traditional rule-based EMS system through a series of performance indicators, such as the utilization rate of renewable energy, energy consumption from the grid, demand peak reduction, V2G contribution, and stability of SOC. The proposed approach creates an ideal compromise between the robustness of the rule-based control and flexibility of the AI-powered decision-making process. Through utilizing Explainable AI within the conventional logic of the EMS system, this framework presents a promising solution to future smart EV charging infrastructure and energy systems.
KEYWORDS
An integrated AI-enabled Energy Management Strategy (EMS) for a photovoltaic (PV)-driven electric vehicle (EV) charging station featuring energy storage systems (ESS) and V2G has been introduced in this paper. The introduced strategy utilizes the reliability of the conventional rule-based system while adding the flexibility of the explainable artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled supervisory control. In order to optimize the modes of operation of the PV-EV system, an AI-based controller based on the Decision Tree algorithm was developed. In addition, there is no reliance on forecasting algorithms while keeping the decision-making process clear in the proposed approach, which is useful in real-world implementations. According to the performance analysis, which included simulations during one day, the AI-assisted EMS outperformed the conventional rule-based EMS in all cases. Renewable energy usage increased from 67% to 80%, whereas the grid electricity use decreased by 23%. Moreover, the peak demand of the grid was minimized by 20%, and the V2G energy share increased considerably. It has been established that the use of explainable AI in combination with the standard EMS can offer a good tradeoff between flexibility, robustness, and transparency of the approach. The presented methodology is capable of solving the problems associated with static rule-based approaches and sophisticated black-box AI solutions. Future research will concentrate on hardware implementation in real time, taking into account users' charging constraints, dynamic pricing, application of other AI techniques, and expansion to the multi-station energy management systems in microgrids
