METHOD FOR MINIMIZING ELECTRIC VEHICLE OUTAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240034184 titled 'METHOD FOR MINIMIZING ELECTRIC VEHICLE OUTAGE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system, method, and computer-readable medium for assigning electric vehicles to charging stations. The system includes a software-defined networking (SDN) controller application stored in a cloud-based computing platform, a computing device stored in the cloud platform, and a fog and cloud-based charging service application stored in the computing device. The SDN controller application manages network communications between fog servers, the cloud-based computing platform, charging stations, and electric vehicles.

  • The system uses a cloud-based computing platform and fog servers to manage the assignment of electric vehicles to charging stations.
  • The SDN controller application handles network communications between the fog servers, cloud platform, charging stations, and electric vehicles.
  • The fog and cloud-based charging service application determines the optimal charging station for each electric vehicle and transmits the route to the vehicle.

Potential Applications:

  • Efficient management of electric vehicle charging stations.
  • Optimization of charging station assignments for electric vehicles.
  • Integration of cloud-based computing and fog servers for improved network communication.

Problems Solved:

  • Overcoming the challenge of assigning electric vehicles to available charging stations.
  • Streamlining the process of determining the optimal charging station for each vehicle.
  • Managing network communications between fog servers, charging stations, and electric vehicles.

Benefits:

  • Improved efficiency in assigning electric vehicles to charging stations.
  • Optimization of charging station usage.
  • Enhanced network communication between fog servers, charging stations, and electric vehicles.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium that assigns an electric vehicle to a charging station is described. the system includes a software-defined networking (sdn) controller application stored in a cloud-based computing platform, a computing device stored in the cloud platform, and a fog and cloud-based charging service application stored in the computing device. the sdn controller application is linked to a plurality of fog servers and is configured to manage network communications between the fog servers and the cloud-based computing platform, between the fog and a number s of charging stations cs, where s=1, 2, . . . , s, and between the fog and a number i of electric vehicles ev, where i=1, 2, . . . , i. the fog and cloud-based charging service application determines an optimal charging station csfor each electric vehicle and transmits a route to the optimal charging station to the ev.
