Abstract

A large number of renewable energy and EVs (electric vehicles) are connected to the grid, which brings huge peak shaving pressure to the power system. If we can make use of the flexible characteristics of EVs and effectively aggregate the adjustable resources of EVs to participate in power auxiliary services, this situation can be alleviated to a certain extent. In this paper, a two-stage physical and economic adjustable capacity evaluation model of EVs for peak shaving and valley filling ancillary services is constructed. The main steps are as follows: with the help of the deep learning ability of the AC (Actor-Critic) algorithm, the optimal physical charging scheme of EV fleet is determined to minimize the grid fluctuation under the travel constraints of private EVs, and the optimized charging power is transferred to the second stage. In the second stage, load aggregators encourage users to participate in ancillary services by setting subsidy prices. In this stage, the model constructs a user decision model based on a logistic function to describe the probability of users accepting dispatching instructions. With the goal of maximizing the revenue of load aggregators, the wolf colony algorithm is used to solve the optimal solution of the time-sharing subsidy level, and finally the economic adjustable capacity of the EV fleet considering the subjective decision of users is obtained.
