Abstract:

In recent years, China has actively promoted the development of new energy vehicles and achieved good results in reducing petroleum energy consumption and environmental pollution. Car ownership has surged year after year. However, the development of supporting infrastructure (charging piles) for electric vehicles is seriously backward, and the layout of electric vehicles and charging piles is extremely uneven. The difficulty of charging has gradually become the main factor restricting the development of electric vehicles. Block-chain technology has the technical advantages of decentralization, traceability and non tampering, and is widely used. The proposed blockchain-based charging piles maintenance system is able to provide an end-to-end transparent and high-reliability management mode for multi-agents, including the charging pile, power distribution station, maintenance, calibration, and supervision institutions. To propose this method, the authors first design the realization of an electric vehicle charging pile sharing system and decentralized scheduling model. Then they design functions of the blockchain-based charging pile maintenance system. At last, the authors provide simulation results and analysis to verify the efficiency of our proposed method.
