Blockchain Mechanism for energy trading among charging station of electric vehicles

This paper proposes a stochastic model for electric vehicles (EVs) bidirectional smart charging taking into account the preferences of EV users, peerr to peer (P۲P) energy trading, and providing ancillary services of the grid based on blockchain mechanism. Considering the preferences of EV users makes the proposed scheduling model adaptive against changing operating conditions. The presented model is formulated as an optimization problem aiming at optimal management of EV battery state of charge (SOC) and energy placement of several services considering the provision of ancillary services and contributing in P۲P transactions. To evaluate the proposed model, real–world data collected from Tehran city are used as input data of simulation. Numerical results demonstrate the efficacy of the presented model.
