METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR BLOCK SCHEDULING FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE WITH INTRADAY CHARGING

A system (200) and method (100) for block scheduling for an electric vehicle (EV) are disclosed. The method comprises obtaining route information including designated routes (R1-R4) and their distances in a defined operation period for the EV, and battery information including a consumption factor and a charging rate for a battery of the EV. The method further comprises adding dummy routes (D1-D12) representative of a predefined charging time period for the battery in the defined operation period. The method further comprises defining a dummy factor having a first value for each of the designated routes for the energy being consumed, and a second value for each of the dummy routes for the energy being replenished. The method further comprises determining a schedule for the designated routes and the dummy routes for the EV using an optimization model having constraints for the route information, the battery information and the dummy factor.
