Abstract:

As the proportion of new forms of energy in the power grid and the usage of electric vehicles increase, the energy fluctuations and the uncertain charging loads die to electric vehicles have brought challenges to the flexible operation of power system. To meet users' travel needs, electric vehicles are parked most of the day, and with the development of vehicle-network interaction technology, electric vehicles have certain energy storage characteristics. In this paper, a charging-and-discharging strategy for power-system scheduling is proposed that takes into account the uncertainty of electric vehicle users' willingness to participate, and the flexibility of this strategy is analyzed. First, in order to solve the problem that the scheduling of charging-and-discharging existing electric vehicles does not consider a user's willingness to participate, an optimistic and a pessimistic strategy for the orderly charging-and-discharging of electric vehicles is proposed based on the logistic function, which reflects the uncertainty of a user's willingness to participate in orderly scheduling of charging-and-discharging. The influence of different charging-and-discharging modes for electric vehicles on the multi-timescale dispatching of the power system is then compared and analyzed, with intra-day dispatching carried out on the basis of the previous day, with the minimum comprehensive cost of power system dispatching as the objective function. Finally, the simulation results show that considering the energy-storage characteristics of electric vehicles, the charging-and-discharging strategy for electric vehicles proposed in this paper, which takes into account users' willingness to participate, not only cuts off peaks and fills valleys effectively but also promotes the flexible operation of the power system at less cost.

Key words: electric vehicles, vehicle-to-grid, willingness to participate, flexibility
