Author(s): Yang F
The objective of this dissertation is to provide a robust analytical approach for supporting policymaking in prioritizing EV deployment to achieve both the environmental and economic goals. These findings help understanding of the spatiotemporal application of EV automotive and battery technologies from both the economic and techno perspective.
This thesis models the charging of electric vehicles using a Markov Decision Process and uses Reinforcement Learning solution models to derive an intelligent charging algorithm. This algorithm can take concepts such as electricity price, battery degradation and electrical losses into account in order to minimise the overall operational costs, and add more value to the use of electric vehicles.
Electro-mobility and New Energy Vehicles (NEV) are important elements of the Chinese government’s strategy to promote climate-friendly and sustainable transport. In particular, the promotion of public transport and the adoption of New Energy Buses play a central role in realizing those ambitions.
