Smart Energy Management System based on Reconfigurable AI Chip and Electrical Vehicles

Energy conservation has become a crucial issue for today’s sustainable development. However, converting the energy system to renewable ones and improving the energy efficiency are enormous challenges for current energy sectors. To overcome such challenges, we propose in this work a smart software-hardware (SW-HW) platform and design for a smart energy management system. The platform combines the advantages of SW (refers to user interface) and HW (i.e., AI chip) in terms of high speed and low power. Electric vehicles (EVs) then intelligently and autonomously charge or discharge their batteries. Therefore, the VPP can efficiently manage all the distributed EV batteries as a huge smart power-storage facility. In this way, EV batteries are able to store the extra electricity produced by renewable energy resources, such as solar installations, wind farms, etc. This will bring about greater flexibility and scalability to the power grid and the green vehicle networks.
