Description
Summary:Burdens of increasing penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) on distribution systems have attracted wide attention to the research of EV charging coordination. Nevertheless, existing coordination lacks the joint consideration of the temporal-spatial flexibility of EVs, which could reduce load fluctuations when meeting the EV charging demands. Moreover, a thorough investigation is required for the coordination of the benefits to the distribution system operator (DSO), EV aggregator (EVA), and EVs. In this paper, a novel EV charging scheme considering the temporal-spatial features of EVs is proposed, achieving the coordination of DSO, EVA, and EVs in two steps. First, a mixed-integer second-order cone programming (MISOCP)-based EV charging schedule is developed for DSO. Second, the temporal-spatial features of EVs are exploited by EVA to track the charging schedule. Specifically, a dynamic charging price mechanism based on active power margin is proposed for public charging facilities and a specific load regulation is designed for private charging facilities. On this basis, the modified adaptive multi-objective particle swarm optimization (AMOPSO) algorithm is proposed, including adaptive flight parameter adjustment and termination mechanisms. Case studies demonstrate the proposed strategy can attenuate load variance and raise EVA revenue. Further, the impact analysis of penalty price and the price elasticity of electricity demand can provide references for stable distribution network operation, higher EVA revenue, and charging cost reduction.
