Optimal scheduling of the plug-in electric vehicles aggregator energy and regulation services based on grid to vehicle

Abstract

Summary The advantage of grid‐to‐vehicle power over vehicle to grid is that the existing power grid infrastructure and technology are able to support its operation. In this paper, a regulation operation framework for grid‐to‐vehicle–based plug‐in electric vehicle (PEV) aggregator is proposed. Based on that, PEVs can provide regulation services during charging. The objective function consider the influence of regulation services on the energy of battery charging for PEVs and the constraint of systems for battery charging power of PEVs, achieving the maximum aggregator earnings. A regulation algorithm is proposed for the aggregator to schedule PEVs. The algorithm considers the constraint of PEVs battery capacity and reduces the communication traffic between the aggregator and the PEVs. Simulation results indicate that the optimal scheduling can not only increase the earnings of the aggregator but also reduce the charging cost of PEV owners on the basis of meeting the charging requirements of PEVs.

Electric Vehicles Charging Optimization to Improve the Insertion Considering the Brazilian Regulatory Framework

“…The program restrictions are given by Equation (7). SoC t l , in %, is the EV l level; this parameter must not exceed the minimum and maximum limits, SoC min and SoC max , respectively.…”

“…Thus, coordinated battery charging can alleviate some of the negative effects caused by the uncoordinated charging such as system overload and voltage limit violation . Moreover, battery charging coordination using price signals is able to assist in the management of energy by stimulating EV charging during periods of low electricity demand …”

“…6 Moreover, battery charging coordination using price signals is able to assist in the management of energy by stimulating EV charging during periods of low electricity demand. 7 Based on real data from a distribution network, we performed an analysis of the impact of different recharging mechanisms of electric vehicles (EVs) on the network. With the results, it was possible to develop some proposals for insertion of EVs to cities in which the distribution network is designed to meet high load during only a few times of the year and operates the rest of the time oversized, usual in touristic cities.…”

Bidirectional converter for electric vehicle battery charging with power quality features

“…In off‐board charging, particularly in commercial installations (Level 3 charging), EV batteries are charged with the power quality indices meeting the relevant standards, using modified unified power quality conditioner . The plug‐in hybrid electrical vehicle batteries are employed in Aly et al and Hou et al to mitigate the voltage fluctuations of the network fed by solar power, using a coordinated control strategy and regulation‐based algorithm.…”

Coordinated effect of PHEVs with DGs on distribution network

“…Taking above‐mentioned concerns into consideration, the system studies have been carried out at different levels of penetration of electric vehicles. () It is found that the peak load demand increases, and further, it is suggested that controlled charging strategies can be employed to reduce the losses, invested, and operating cost. The effect of electric vehicle on voltage profile under different situation is also studied in the literature.…”
