Abstract
Electric vehicles (EVs) are commonly recognized as
smart grid assets in addition to their environmental benefits.
However, uncoordinated charging or sole cost minimization
based charging of electric vehicles may bring undesirable peak
demands and voltage violations in the distribution system. This
paper applies the transactive control concept to integrate electric
vehicles into the power distribution system with the purpose
of minimizing the charging cost of electric vehicles as well as
preventing grid congestions and voltage violations. A hierarchical
EV management system is proposed where three actors are considered:
distribution system operator (DSO), fleet operators and
EV owners. In the lower level of the hierarchy, the fleet operator
centrally manages the charging schedule of electric vehicles; in
the upper level of the hierarchy, the DSO uses transactive control
technique to coordinate the aggregated charging behavior of
fleet operators. Detailed models are presented to illustrate the
operation of the hierarchical EV management system. In the
end, simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the
proposed solutions.
