Abstract: Guiding the coordinated charging of electric vehicles can alleviate the load fluctuation of power systems within a local area caused by uncoordinated charging of electric vehicles and greatly reduce the cost of power system operation. This will become an inevitable development trend of future energy system transformation. In this paper, a new mobile application is built to realize the dynamic adjustment of electric vehicle charging prices according to the change in weather conditions to guide the coordinated charging of electric vehicles. After systematically introducing the structure and data flow process of the application, we simulate the fluctuation of charging prices under various weather conditions using the electricity load data of North China and verify the good performance of the application. We believe that this application can help power systems to achieve low-carbon transformation by adopting a new dynamic time-of-use pricing charging model.
