abstract = {\"{A}pplying renewable energy in smart micro grid (MG) is increasingly receiving attention to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, the mismatch between supply and demand hinders the realization of this process. With the widespread use of Electrical Vehicles (EVs) and the development of emerging Mobile Edge Clouds (MECs), intelligent energy optimization becomes a way to the addressee the challenge. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a novel two-stage approach based on Deep Learning (DL) to reduce overall energy cost for sharing EVs integrated MG by forecasting its state and optimizing EVs scheduling. Our simulation results show that the joint design of forecasting and optimization reduces the overall energy consumption and the payment to the external grid."},
