Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metering and verification technology for electric vehicle charging facilities, specifically to a method and system for selecting standard charging piles based on a spatiotemporal coverage network, which is particularly suitable for standard pile selection in a propagation-based remote verification scenario. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, the accuracy of charging pile measurement has become crucial to ensuring fair transactions. Traditional on-site verification methods are costly and inefficient, making it difficult to meet the demands of the rapidly increasing number of charging piles. Remote verification technology has emerged to address this need. Among them, the propagation verification method enables online verification of a large number of charging piles by transferring measurement values ​​between a small number of standard charging piles and the vehicle's BMS system.

[0003] In existing technologies, the selection of standard charging stations is mostly based on experience or simple rules, such as selecting charging stations with high usage frequency (see CN202110701575.6), or optimizing terminal configuration based on the charging station's connectivity rate (see CN202411182908.9). However, these methods do not fully consider the synergy between the charging station's time attributes and network coverage capabilities, which may lead to problems such as late deployment of standard charging stations, low coverage efficiency, and resource waste.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a scientific and efficient method for selecting standard charging piles, which can achieve coverage of the entire charging network in the earliest time and with the least investment, while ensuring verification coverage. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention aims to address the shortcomings of existing standard pile selection methods in terms of time efficiency and coverage efficiency, and proposes a method and system for optimizing charging pile standard piles based on spatiotemporal coverage networks.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0020] Furthermore, the formula for calculating the target coverage (R) in step S5 is as follows: in, For the selected set of standard piles, This represents the total number of charging stations.

[0021] Furthermore, the time-sequential greedy selection algorithm in step S6 includes the following sub-steps:

[0022] Sort all charging stations in ascending order by first charging time;

[0027] 3) Calculate the current coverage rate ;

[0028] 4) If Then stop iterating and output the result. ;

[0029] 5) Otherwise, continue iterating through the next charging station.

[0030] Furthermore, if multiple charging piles have the same initial charging time during the traversal process, the charging pile with the higher coverage contribution will be selected first.

[0031] Furthermore, a method and system for selecting standard charging piles based on spatiotemporal coverage networks also includes:

[0032] 1) Data acquisition module, used to acquire charging order data;

[0033] 2) Relationship network construction module, used to build a many-to-many relationship network between charging piles and vehicles;

[0049] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the method provided in this embodiment of the invention includes the following steps:

[0051] S1: Obtain charging order data, including charging pile code, vehicle VIN code, charging start time, etc.

[0053] S3: Calculate the first charging time for each charging station and sort them in ascending order of time.

[0054] S4: Calculate the coverage contribution of each charging station. For example, if charging station P1 has served vehicles V1 and V2, V1 has visited P1, P2, and P3, and V2 has visited P1 and P4, then the coverage contribution of P1 is {P1, P2, P3, P4}, a total of 4 charging stations.

[0055] S5: Set the target coverage threshold, for example, 95%.

[0056] S6: Execute the time-sequential greedy selection algorithm. For example... Figure 3 As shown, stubs are selected in chronological order, and the coverage set is updated for each selected stub until the coverage reaches the threshold.

[0057] 1) Arrange charging stations in ascending order of their first charging time;

[0058] 2) Select charging piles in sequence to add to the standard pile set, and update the set of covered charging piles;

[0059] 3) Stop selecting when the cumulative coverage reaches the target threshold.

[0060] S7: Output the list of selected standard stakes.

[0061] In this embodiment, the algorithm is implemented in a Python environment and validated using real charging order data. Experiments show that, compared with traditional methods, the method of this invention accurately calculates the number of standard piles and the specific list of standard piles while achieving the target coverage rate, greatly improving the efficiency of standard pile construction and saving a significant amount of standard pile construction costs.
