Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to a bidirectional charging at an electric vehicle (EV) charging station by an energy model that uses electricity bought from the day-ahead market for charging the fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) and uses the intra-day market for arbitrage. The competitive pricing of wholesale electricity markets and distributed energy resource capability of EV fleets (in addition) provide a revenue channel through energy arbitrage. To effectively handle electricity price variations and the energy demand of the EV fleet, the present disclosure utilizes a graph representation-based learning agent (LA3_D) with two-stage encoding for day-ahead charge planning; and a priority order based greedy heuristic (GH_I) for intra-day arbitrage planning. Because the agent learns the planning policy of mapping EVs to charging operations over several problem instances, it is able to solve a given instance with limited sub-optimality when put to test at different levels of scale.
