Study on voltage coordination optimization of microgrid with electric
vehicle load response
Abstract
The aggregation of the remaining battery capacity of EVs can be used as
distributed energy storage to participate in electricity market
auxiliary services in the form of V2G, however, their reliability is
affected by the uncertainty of EV travel. In this paper, we consider the
uncertainty of EV load response and propose a resolution method for
quantifying the reliability of EV aggregation capacity in the day-ahead
market. The paper first classifies EV users by analyzing historical
charging data. Secondly, based on the composite Poisson process, the V2G
capacity and reliability model for the aggregator’s participation in the
day-ahead auxiliary service bidding are proposed and validated using
actual data. Based on this model, aggregators can decide the power of
V2G bidding for any time slot on day t+1 according to the reliability
requirements of the standby market for the standby capacity contracted
before that day. Finally, this paper organically combines PV and EV
aggregators in the microgrid and uses genetic algorithms to optimize the
simulation of the microgrid voltage operation state under different
scenarios in the IEEE 33-node system. The results show the effectiveness
of the coordinated optimization scheme of PV and EV clusters for the
optimization of microgrid voltage.
