The increasing penetration of plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) to the electrical grid raises concerns over secure and economic operation of the system. A coordination mechanism between system operator and EV aggregators is necessary to ensure that the system is operated within the security limits, and to reduce the charging costs while satisfying EV users' energy needs. In this work, we present a cooperative hierarchical multi-agent system and propose an EV charging scheduling strategy in order to minimize the demand and energy charges while meeting the EV users' energy requirements and satisfying the system security constraints. Within the designed framework, the higher-level agents calculate a set of proposed control signals by solving the designated optimization problems, and send them to the lower-level agents to facilitate an optimal scheduling in line with the aforementioned objectives. Through this hierarchically distributed approach, it is possible to effectively coordinate multiple EV charging stations without the need of direct communication or any prior information related to EV arrivals. The computational complexity of the problem is reduced by distributing the work among agents, and the privacy of sensitive data, such as system topology, load profiles, and EV parameters, is preserved. Moreover, unlike the traditional distributed solution methods that converge iteratively, the proposed approach calculates the optimal charging schedule after a single round of communication. The efficacy of the proposed methodology is demonstrated by a series of case studies on 33-bus and 118-bus distribution test feeders.
