AI-powered EV Energy Harvesting and Management [AI を活用した EV エネルギーの収集と管理]

A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is a network of distributed power-generating units, flexible power consumers, and storage systems. A VP

balances the load on the grid by allocating the power generated by different linked units during periods of peak load. Demand-side energy equipment, such as Electric Vehicles (EVs) and mobile robots, can also help balance energy supply and demand when effectively deployed. However, fluctuation of the power generated by the various power units makes the supply power balance a challenging goal. Moreover, the security of communication between a VPP aggregator and end facilities is critical and has not been carefully investigated.

In this project, we collaborate with Aizu Computer Science Laboratories, Inc., and Banpu Japan to develop an AI-enabled, blockchain-based Electric Vehicle (EV) integration system for power management in a smart grid platform based on EV and solar carport. We have developed a low-power AI-chip and various software tools for EV charge prediction, in which the EV fleet is employed as a consumer and as a supplier of electrical energy.
