Systems and methods for controlling the charging of electric vehicles using multi-agent system

A system for controlling a charging of electric vehicles using a multi-agent system that includes a network of charging stations on a microgrid, wherein the network of charging stations includes a first electric vehicle charging station and a second electric vehicle charging station, the system comprising:

• applications disposed in memories of the first and second electric vehicle charging systems and storing instructions thereon that when executed by one or more processors on each of the first and second electric vehicle charging systems, causes the one or more processors to:
• transmit, from the first electric vehicle charging station, a first charge transfer request for a first electric vehicle to the cloud server via a first mobile device;
• transmit, from the second electric vehicle charging station, a second charge transfer request for a second electric vehicle to the cloud server via a second mobile device;
• in response to the first and second charge transfer requests being authorized, receive first and second charging control signals from the cloud server at the first and second electric vehicle charging stations that enable a first charge transfer from the first electric vehicle charging station to the first electric vehicle and a second charge transfer from the second electric vehicle charging station to the second electric vehicle;
• and
• determining the first charge transfer from the first electric vehicle charging station and the second charge transfer from the second electric vehicle charging station in relation to each other, by using the first and second charging control signals to optimize a local load on the microgrid.
