Fig. 3: Impact of charging scheduling on charging demand.
From: Optimizing electric vehicle charging patterns and infrastructure for grid decarbonization
a Charging load before and after applying flexible charging scheduling. The red areas denote the grid peak load in Shanghai. The darker red region corresponds to the higher peaks (10:00 AM–4:00 PM on weekdays and 4:00–10:00 PM on weekends), while the lighter red region represents the lower peaks (7:00–9:00 PM on weekdays and 9:30 AM–12:00 PM on weekends). b The charging areas before and after applying scheduling. The blocks on the left and right represent the distribution of charging areas before and after scheduling, with the gray flow indicating the changes in the charging regions resulting from the scheduling application. c The original dispatching electricity consumption and the reduced dispatching electricity consumption after the scheduling implementation.
