Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) have been the center of attention in recent years as they can be utilized to set up a bidirectional connection to a power grid for ancillary services procurement. By incorporating Vehicle to Grid (V2G), this paper proposes a real-time solution to a non-convex constrained unit commitment (UC) optimization problem considering V2G parking lots as dispersed generation units. V2G parking lots can be considered as virtual power plants that my decrease dependency to small expensive units in a UC problem. In this paper, firstly a probabilistic attendance model of PHEVs in a parking lot is investigated, while expected number of PHEVs as well as the equivalent generation capacity of the parking lot is obtained using a radial basis neural network. Secondly, a particular UC problem considering V2G parking lot is solved using GA-ANN as a hybrid heuristic method. A real-time estimation of PHEVs number in the V2G parking lot and real-time solution to UC-V2G problem associated with load variation makes this work distinguished, while the proposed method is applied to a standard IEEE 10-unit test system with promising results.
