Method and system for block scheduling for electric vehicle with intraday charging

A system and method for block scheduling for an electric vehicle are provided. The method includes obtaining route information including designated routes 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 includes adding dummy routes representative of a predefined charging time period for the battery in the defined operation period. The method further includes 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 includes 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.
