Abstract

The stochastic nature of electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy generation necessitates online management of both energy and carbon emissions at the distribution level in line with the low-carbon transition vision. However, existing adjustable potential models fail to account for the anti-herding behavior of EV users, resulting in extreme and unrealistic outcomes. Additionally, the multiple coupled characteristics and behavioral randomness of EVs hinder real-time optimization management. To address these challenges, a unified storage equivalence model is proposed, complemented by an evolutionary game framework on social networks that integrates Anti-Herding Mechanisms (AHM) to realistically quantify the flexibility of charging stations (CSs) while preventing irrational congregation. An offline energy-carbon emission joint sharing model is established within the energy community. To handle the temporal and energy-carbon coupling in EVs, virtual queues based on Lyapunov optimization are introduced, effectively decoupling the multi-timeslot problem into a tractable single-timeslot sharing formulation while ensuring asymptotic optimality. Case studies validate the rationality of the potential evolution results and the effectiveness of the proposed real-time sharing framework. The proposed online sharing method effectively limits peak carbon intensity and reduces costs by 6.50%.
