Without the optimized regulation for traditional power system demand, integrating increasing number of electric vehicles (EVs) would have an adverse impact on stability of power systems. Hence, when there are large-scale EVs being plugged into power grid, it is significant to employ this advanced optimization model. In addition, the flexible bidirectional charging and discharging would improve flexibility and stability, compared with the optimized methodology only for EV charging. Three scenarios with different charging and discharging power levels and various penetration levels of EV are discussed in this paper. Simulation results demonstrate that bidirectional EV charging has effective potential to improve the load demand profile, with the increase of EV penetration proportion, and power levels of charging and discharging.","PeriodicalId":117485,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129079658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a 400V practical residential distribution network is modelled and used to quantify these impacts due to the growing penetration of EVs. Residential load profiles in 1-minute resolution and EV charging profiles with recorded State of Charge (SOC) are randomly and statistically created. Then, a simple charging management algorithm with locally made decision is suggested at EV users' charging points. Results prove that this approach can mitigate the negative impacts of EV charging on network assets. Moreover, it can reduce EV users' electricity cost for charging based on existing UK electricity price scheme `Economy 7,' without compromising EV usage or substantial network infrastructure reinforcement or installation of extensive monitor, control and communication system. The simulation models and analysis are implemented in MATLAB/OpenDSS as an LV distribution network simulation platform.","PeriodicalId":117485,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123437465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve the consumption level of wind energy, this paper proposed a cost compensation mechanism to facilitate the demand side to participate in peak regulation when a large-scale wind power integrates into the grid. Firstly, the complementary relationship of the regenerative electric heating, plug-in electric vehicles and interruptible load in capacity and response characteristics has been analyzed. Based on the analysis, a stochastic unit commitment model with the demand side participant is established, which facilitates the consumption of wind energy. Based on the optimization results, cooperative game theory is introduced to propose the method to work out the allocation results of the demand side response compensation cost, which is based on Shapley value method. Calculation example demonstrates that the cost compensation mechanism facilitating the demand side's participation in the wind power consumption is effective, namely reducing the operation cost of thermal power units while maximizing the flexibility of the demand side and the consumption of the wind energy.","PeriodicalId":117485,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116783326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through exploration of data synchronization and modeling process in different contexts of DTS, potential dangerous factors that exist in the currently used DTS database are exposed. In light of the principle of secure partitioning, a new architecture of DTS is presented to separate the future mode and the real-time mode of DTS into two independent sub-systems. Graphs and models in each subsystem's database are maintained and modified respectively so as not to interfere with the real-time system. Analysis indicates that the influence of DTS on the realtime system can be reduced to a lower level by the proposed architecture, meanwhile, the modeling process in DTS is also simplified.
