An Electric Vehicle Optimization Scheduling Strategy Based on TSM-NSGA-III Algorithm

Aiming to address the problems of interest conflict between charging stations and electric vehicle (EV) owners, as well as severe load fluctuations caused by disorderly EV charging, this paper proposes a multi-objective optimal scheduling model based on an improved NSGA-III algorithm (TSM-NSGA-III). The model utilizes dynamic electricity price as a decision variable instead of a fixed time-of-use price, with optimization objectives set to maximize charging station profit, maximize EV owner satisfaction, and minimize the load peak-valley difference rate. The TSM-NSGA-III algorithm enhances the original NSGA-III through three key improvements: (1) chaotic reverse learning to improve initial population quality, (2) the sparrow search algorithm to avoid local optima, and (3) Manhattan distance to preserve population diversity and discover potential optimal solutions. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a 26% faster convergence and a 9.9% higher average solution quality compared to NSGA-III. Furthermore, it obtains superior Pareto frontiers with significantly better performance in both charging station revenue and user satisfaction, effectively overcoming the algorithm’s tendencies toward premature convergence and neglect of diverse optimal solutions.
