Connecting to 18,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to the city’s energy grid, this innovative project addressed the challenges of uneven electricity distribution and high peak demand, leveraging AI to improve energy management and sustainability.

Challenges:

The city faced irregular power consumption patterns, especially in EV charging stations. Sudden fluctuations in power load, where stations operated at full capacity and then dropped quickly, created inefficiencies and strained the energy grid.

AI-Enabled Solution Preposition:

1. Peak Shaving & Off-Peak Charging: AI guided EV owners to charge during off-peak hours, reducing the strain on the grid and balancing energy distribution.
2. Real-Time Grid Response: The VPP adjusted charging rates instantly based on the grid’s needs, ensuring efficient energy use and grid stability.
3. Regional Load Reorganization: AI optimized energy distribution across regions, preventing overloads and ensuring reliable power flow.
4. AI Scheduling & Incentives: The system offered a 5% discount to EV owners who delayed charging by just 30 minutes, improving grid efficiency and encouraging off-peak charging.
5. Environmental Impact: The project reduced annual CO2 emissions by 3,000 tons, contributing to the city’s green energy goals.

Results:

The AI-enabled VPP resulted in optimized energy use, improved grid stability, and significant environmental benefits. By guiding EV owners to charge off-peak and offering dynamic scheduling, the system reduced peak load pressures while providing financial incentives and reducing carbon emissions.
