Advancing Sustainable Urban Mobility: A Decentralised Framework for Smart EV-Grid Integration and Renewable Energy Optimisation

The transition to sustainable urban mobility requires innovative solutions optimising electric vehicle (EV) ecosystems while integrating seamlessly with smart urban grids. This paper proposes a decentralised framework leveraging adaptive algorithms, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, and renewable energy prioritisation to enhance urban sustainability without requiring new infrastructure. By integrating federated learning (FL) for privacy-preserving coordination, multi-objective optimisation for load balancing, and predictive models for renewable energy integration, our approach addresses energy demand, grid stability, and environmental impact in urban areas. Validated through simulations on an IEEE 39-bus urban feeder and real-world urban mobility case studies, the framework achieves a 40% reduction in carbon emissions, improves grid reliability by 20%, and enhances renewable utilisation by 25% compared to an uncoordinated charging baseline. These outcomes support urban planning by informing smart grid design, reducing urban heat island effects, and promoting equitable mobility access. This work provides actionable strategies for policymakers, urban planners, and energy providers to advance more sustainable, electrified urban ecosystems.
