Bayesian game model to analyze electric vehicles and smart grid interaction

Abstract

In this paper, a novel Bayesian game model is developed to estimate the behavior of the Electric Vehicles (EVs) and smart grid. The proposed model focus on EVs as consumers and how to combine them efficiently into the smart grid. We first briefly introduce the smart grid and its structure. Then, the proposed model is presented and the effect of different variables such as load demand, energy price, and battery charge are investigated. Finally, the simulation is carried out on a test case and the obtained results demonstrate that our models help to efficiently combine the EVs into the smart grid.
