Coordinated Operation Between Electric Vehicle Charging Stations and Distribution Power Network Considering Shared Energy and Reserve

In this paper, we present a coordinated operation method for electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs) and a distribution power network (DPN), considering integrated energy and reserve regulation. In this method, we firstly propose formulations of energy-reserve integrated decision for EVCSs with constraints of quality of service. Then, we propose a shared energy and reserve scheduling model based on the coalition game, and adopt a characteristic function to study allocations of economic benefits brought by the coordinated operation. Finally, case study verifies effectiveness of the proposed method, by investigating operation costs of EVCSs and DPN regarding the non-coordinated and coordinated modes, respectively.

Automated summary

This paper presents a coordinated operation method for electric vehicle charging stations and a distribution power network, considering integrated energy and reserve regulation. The proposed method includes energy-reserve integrated decision formulations, shared energy and reserve scheduling model based on coalition game, and economic benefit allocation study. Case study verifies the effectiveness of the method by comparing operation costs in coordinated and non-coordinated modes for EVCSs and DPN.
