Predictive, distributed, hierarchical charging control of PHEVs in the distribution system of a large urban area incorporating a multi agent transportation simulation

摘要

The paper describes a method for investigating the impacts of wide-scale Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) integration in electricity networks. It incorporates an agent-based transportation micro-simulation, which provides detailed temporal and spatial information of PHEV behavior including vehicle connection times, locations and energy demands. These inputs are subsequently used in power systems simulations. The power system model incorporates smart management devices which distribute, potentially scarce, power efficiently between connected PHEVs. These management devices ensure a secure power system operation. The integrated transportation and power system model provides detailed insights on impacts of wide scale PHEV adoption on electricity systems, outlines expansion needs and provides a proof of concept for the operability of a future smart grid.
