Abstract

In recent years, the utilization of electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy sources (RESs) are highly interested in supplying some parts of the required energy and paving the way for reaching other goals, such as emission reduction. However, uncontrolled energy management of the EVs’ high penetration may adversely affect the distribution system. The chapter aims to investigate the charging behavior of EVs. By analyzing the charging patterns of the EV stations, different rules could be developed to manage the EV charging patterns. This chapter introduced the machine learning (ML)-based approach to cluster the EV charging behaviors and improve the management of EVs by distinguishing the most representative charging patterns. Identifying clusters of EV charging patterns was conducted via the unsupervised learning ML method, while the supervised learning ML method was utilized for further classification of the dataset. An example was also used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
