Highway EMS for Efficient Management of EVs and Energy

In the future, when Electric Vehicles (EVs) will be adopted in large scales, a Highway Energy Management System (Highway EMS) will be necessary to comprehensively manage energy supply and demand of the whole highway. To realize this, the Highway EMS will guide EVs in such a way that the EVs do not run out of energy on the highway and arrive at those Service Areas/Parking Areas (SA/PAs) where waiting time for charging is short, maximize the utilization rate of the charging facilities and level the power load to the grid. In this paper, the authors present a prototype of the Highway EMS that makes dynamic charging schedules for the EVs running on a highway. By performing simulations using the traffic data of Tomei Expressway in Japan, the authors have found that the Highway EMS is effective in reducing charging waiting time at SA/PAs of the highway, and increasing the throughput of charging service.
