Abstract

With the rapid development of electric vehicles (EVs), vehicle-to-grid has become a common way to participate in grid regulation. However, in the traditional vehicle-to-grid strategy, the disorganized or coercive regulatory characteristics of EVs always affect the overall satisfaction of EV users and the safe and economic operation of the distribution network. It is challenging to balance the interests of road network subjects. For this reason, this paper proposes an orderly charging and discharging strategy for electric vehicles with integrated consideration of user and distribution grid benefits. First, a comprehensive EV user satisfaction model that considers the vehicle owner’s travel costs is established by considering the vehicle’s travel status and the road resistance characteristics of the road network. Further, the EV orderly charging and discharging model is established to optimize the operation cost of the distribution network, voltage deviation, and EV users’ comprehensive satisfaction, which takes into account the vehicle owner’s satisfaction and the stable operation of the distribution network. Finally, the proposed strategy is validated using the IEEE 33-node arithmetic example. The results show that the peak-to-valley load difference of the distribution network under the strategy of this paper is 29.52% lower than that under the EV non-participation regulation strategy. Compared with the EV non-participation strategy, it can effectively reduce the single-day operation cost of the system by 2.47%.
