This paper proposes an Electric Vehicle (EV) aggregator bidding strategy in the reserve market. The EV aggregator determines the charging/discharging operations of EVs in providing reserve service for profits maximization. In the Day‐Ahead Market (DAM), the EV aggregator submits a bidding plan to the Independent Systems Operator (ISO) including base‐load and reserve up/down capacities plans. In the Real‐Time Market (RTM), the EV aggregator should deploy reserve based on the ISO's requirements, and the EV aggregator could receive income by deploying reserve or penalty for reserve shortage. The stochastic programming method is applied to address the uncertain reserve deployment requirements in RTM. In addition, Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are utilized by the EV aggregator to enhance the ability in providing reserve service. The aggregator–owner contract is designed to guarantee EV owners' economic benefits. Case studies show the expected profits of the EV aggregator are maximized and the risk of the reserve shortage is well managed, i.e., penalty is minimized. With the utilization of ESS, the performance of the EV aggregator in making response to the ISO's requirements is improved. That is, the required reserve percentage increases from 5.68% to 7.85%, and the deployed reserve percentage increases from 69.71% to 88.47%.

Based on the structure of the thermal management system for electric vehicles, complete the design of the thermal management system for the whole vehicle, and realize the coupling temperature regulation between the vehicle cabin and the power battery pack. A direct cooling system model containing electric compressors, electronic expansion valves, heat exchangers, power battery packs, and other components coupled to the air conditioning system is established. Based on this, a vehicle thermal management model of the entire vehicle including electric vehicle, electric motor, high and low voltage network, vehicle cabin, air conditioning system, and power battery pack is completed. Develop the logic threshold control strategy, compressor speed control strategy, and electronic expansion valve opening control strategy for the vehicle thermal management system. Through the comparative analysis of the temperature control effect of the thermal management system on the cabin and the power battery pack under different ambient temperatures, the effect of different temperatures on the vehicle range is analyzed. The results show that this vehicle thermal management system can meet the requirements for battery pack heat dissipation and vehicle cabin refrigeration.
