Electric Vehicles Assisted Multi-Household Cooperative Demand Response Strategy

摘要

The recent ongoing development of electrical vehicles (EVs) offers vast benefits not only in environmental protection and economics, but also in demand response (DR) management on consumer side. Adopting EVs in DR enables householders to alleviate the load burden while reducing electric bill simultaneously. In this paper, we utilize EVs as temporary energy storage facilities to assist the power transaction, which ensures the flexibility and economic benefit. An innovative EVs assisted DR strategy including a neighbor energy sharing (NES) model is proposed, to jointly optimize the load distribution via vehicle to home (V2H) and vehicle to neighbor (V2N) connections, and economic cost for a residential network with multi-household. The effectiveness of the proposed DR strategy is verified by numerical results in terms of load balancing and cost reduction. It also significantly outperforms the previous DR approaches.
