Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology allows the bidirectional flow of electric power between the electric vehicle (EV) and the electric grid. However, for making optimal charging/discharging decisions, it is essential to precisely evaluate the battery degradation. In the proposed method, the initial degradation cost is estimated based on the present status of the EV battery in terms of range and age. Following this, a degradation cost of the battery is obtained from battery specifications and continuously tracking the variables that affect battery energy capacity, which will determine the economic loss to EV users for participating in V2G programs. A Mixed Integer Linear Program to minimize cost includes this degradation cost in its objective function to make the optimal decision for an EV's interaction with the grid. At the end of each 24-hour cycle, the battery degradation cost is updated based on the charging/discharging transactions performed during the cycle and the temperature conditions. These transactions and battery degradation costs are stored in a consortium blockchain that is shared among the relevant actors.","PeriodicalId":360154,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Power & Energy Society Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference (ISGT)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133455886","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}

PJM's pay-for-performance regulation market is considered to remunerate the facility's dedicated capacities to the FR market.

It is a data-driven approach, and the PV output is estimated utilizing a statistic regression model. A Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (MRMR) algorithm is applied to preselect the optimal subset of the monitored PV systems. The performance of this approach is compared with a spatial interpolation method and a model-based approach.

This is achieved by developing a dedicated control strategy for PNS voltages and currents of grid-forming and grid-feeding VSIs. The grid-forming and grid-feeding VSIs can operate in a grid-connected mode as well as islanded mode as a microgrid. These multiple VSIs utilize existing distribution feeders which are part of an unbalanced system in terms of load, and feeder-impedances. In this work, a new robust droop control based approach is proposed to support multiple VSI operation in both grid-connected or islanded modes of operation. To achieve the fault ride-through capability of VSIs, a current limiter is also proposed in the dq-frame accounting for the PNS currents during unbalanced fault scenarios.
