Abstract

The growing penetration of photovoltaic (PV) systems and electric vehicles (EVs) poses systemic uncertainty for EV charging stations (EVCSs) participating in day-ahead energy market. These uncertainties are characterized by complex dependencies and time-varying tail risks that challenge traditional scenario generation and risk management techniques. This paper presents CDT-RiskNet, a Copula-Diffusion-Transformer framework for risk-aware stochastic optimization. A copula-enhanced diffusion model is developed to generate realistic joint scenarios of PV generation and EV charging demand. To manage time-varying tail risk, a Transformer-based risk module predicts dynamic CVaR weights from both historical and forecasted features, enabling coordinated evaluation across time. Simulation resultson both small-scale and large-scale EVCSs using real-world data demonstrate that CDT-RiskNet improves scenario generation quality, risk control, and adaptability to varying market conditions, leading to better economic performance under uncertainty.
