Artificially Intelligent Vehicle-to-Grid Energy Management: A Semantic-Aware Framework Balancing Grid Demands and User Autonomy

Abstract

As the adoption of electric vehicles increases, the challenge of managing bidirectional energy flow while ensuring grid stability and respecting user preferences becomes increasingly critical. This paper aims to develop an intelligent framework for vehicle-to-grid (V2G) energy management that balances grid demands with user autonomy. The research presents VESTA (vehicle energy sharing through artificial intelligence), featuring the semantic-aware vehicle access control (SEVAC) model for efficient and intelligent energy sharing. The methodology involves developing a comparative analysis framework, designing the SEVAC model, and implementing a proof-of-concept simulation. VESTA integrates advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, and edge computing, to provide a comprehensive solution for V2G management. SEVAC employs semantic awareness to prioritise critical vehicles, such as those used by emergency services, without compromising user autonomy. The proof-of-concept simulation demonstrates VESTA’s capability to handle complex V2G scenarios, showing a 15% improvement in energy distribution efficiency and a 20% reduction in response time compared to traditional systems under high grid demand conditions. The results highlight VESTA’s ability to balance grid demands with vehicle availability and user preferences, maintaining transparency and security through blockchain technology. Future work will focus on large-scale pilot studies, improving AI reliability, and developing robust privacy-preserving techniques.
