Abstract

We deal here with the routing and scheduling of electric vehicles in charge of performing internal logistic tasks inside some protected area. Some vehicles are provided in energy by a local photo-voltaic facility with limited production/storage capacities and time dependent production rates. In order to avoid importing energy from outside (notion of self consumption) one must synchronize energy consumption and production while minimizing both production and routing costs. Because of the complexity of resulting bi-level optimization model, we handle it while shortcutting the production scheduling level with the help of surrogate estimators, whose values are computed through a pricing mechanism and machine learning devices. According to this purpose we design, implement and test several algorithms and get an evaluation of the potentiality of such surrogate component based approaches. This work was carried on in partnership with national power company EDF, in the context of the PGMO program.
