Abstract:

To address the issues of the insufficient regulation resources and flexibility in current active distribution networks, this paper proposes a two-stage regulation method for electric vehicle (EV) participation in the optimization of active distribution networks. Considering the impact of EV regulation on charging demand of users under the uncertainty of their travel behavior, the proposed method intends to fully exploit the regulation potential of EVs while reducing the impact of regulation on the travel of vehicle owners. First, a power deviation index is established to characterize the impact on EV charging behavior, and EV aggregation is performed with the power deviation taken into account. Then, the optimal regulation of active distribution networks containing EV aggregations, energy storage systems, and distributed generation units is conducted. Finally, the aggregated EV charging/ discharging commands are disaggregated to individual EVs by minimizing user-side impact. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through simulation on the IEEE 33-bus system. Numerical experiments show that the strategy can balance the regulation capability of EVs and charging demand of users. Compared with the traditional method, the EV power deviation is reduced by 25%, and the accommodation capacity is increased by 57%.
