Commercial electric vehicle fleet scheduling for secondary frequency control

摘要

The participation of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) in the frequency regulation has been subject of intensive research, but exclusively from the aggregator or individual car owner perspective. Therefore, optimization criteria have been restricted to aggregator's revenues and/or costs and car owner's utility and satisfaction. In a real life practice, the case of commercial PEV fleet is not rare, but the problem of its usage and scheduling for frequency regulation has not been addressed so far. This particular problem requires new criteria, besides costs and revenues, like the commercial service level and fleet owner electricity network capacity. Consequently, the multi-objective approach in the case of uncertainty is required, because of the stochastic nature of vehicle usage.
