4. Conclusions and future work
In this paper, we have introduced a charging strategy for multiple EVs charging demands using charging stations
with several charging points. The objective is to remedy to the long waiting problem of EVs within charging
stations. We have proposed a predictive algorithm based on predictive function principles. Basics
and parameters of
this function in the context of charging process are explained. According to these parameters, the prediction of the
average charging time and charging rate using this trade-off approach is explained. The obtained results are
compared using two use cases: full charging of EV batteries and using required energy according to the arrival of
charging requests. A numerical example is worked out and the obtained results are reported and compared for these
considered cases. As
perspectives of this work, we further develop the proposed charging system and integrate the
real time data. Furthermore, we will compare this approach with another one developed in our previous works using
(max, +) algebra. We will evaluate the performances of both approaches in terms of the minimization of EVs waiting
and maximization of their charging using VSIMRTI framework. Furthermore, accurate battery modelling is another
on-going work [21] that will be adapted for successful prediction of SoC and the electric driving range as well.
