Electric Vehicles (EVs) can also be used as distributed energy resources providing ancillary services to the grid through Vehicle-to-grid (V2G). Incentives through V2G can lead to reduced EV ownership cost, thus increasing their acceptance and overall penetration. However, with high current battery prices and increased battery wear due to more frequent charging and discharging during V2G operations, it becomes economically challenging in realizing a profitable business model. This paper presents an economic analysis of various V2G offerings in consideration of market prices and battery wear cost. Aggregate Power Capacity, from a fleet of EVs is realized by modeling their driving pattern using trip chaining based on data from survey conducted, employment pattern and vehicular statistics. Battery life cycle is analyzed, for achievable cycle counts and net energy transferrable, operating to various depths of discharge (DoD) values. Economic analysis is performed using Singapore data.","PeriodicalId":444960,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Technologies - Asia (ISGT ASIA)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125452514","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}

Based on the grey relation theory, samples of similar days are selected to establish SVM prediction model. In order to improve prediction accuracy, differential evolution (DE) algorithm is applied to optimize parameters of SVR model. Through empirical study, the root mean square error (RMSE) of daily load forecasting is 10.85%. Compared with the standard SVM prediction model, the prediction precision of this paper is increased by 1.52%. What's more, the proposed method has better forecasting performance than the other methods.","PeriodicalId":444960,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Technologies - Asia (ISGT ASIA)","volume":"18 11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125616963","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}

Considering that electricity price in sale market is still regulated in some countries like China, we propose a new method of formulating peak-valley price (PVP) and interruptible price (IP) based on maximizing social benefits. Through implementation of the pricing measures, demand-side resources can be better integrated and exploited. In addition, advantages are complementary when two pricing measures are implemented together. Probabilistic production simulation and genetic algorithms (GA) are used as tools for solving. Results show that the proposed pricing mechanisms are reasonable and implementation of PVP and IP can bring more social benefits.","PeriodicalId":444960,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Technologies - Asia (ISGT ASIA)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115830634","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}

The voltage is stable if the system can maintain its voltage within the acceptable limits when there is a change in load admittance. Voltage collapse may occur when the system is subjected to system fault(s); the occurrence of this phenomenon can be either slowly or drastically depending on the severity of the fault(s) [1]. Therefore, it is more accurate to analyze the system behavior dynamically with respect to voltage stability.

The solution process of Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch (VAr) which allocates the generator outputs can be either exacerbated or improved. The conventional VAr algorithm is thus reformulated, encompassing EV's operational constraints. As a result, VAr-EV optimization algorithm builds up that minimizes total dispatch costs while taking into account a plethora of system-wise, unit-wise and spatial constraints for a daily operation. Simulation results exhibited that the proposed VAr-EV effectively improves the total dispatch costs and an efficient use of generation sources. However, it can be done by propitious shifts in generation plan from peak to off-peak hours as well as the EV dual operational mode (charging/discharging) advantages. Further, the obtained results represents that employing Newton Raphson (NR) load flow calculation instead of approximated loss techniques can procure an accurate and precise solution, which can also offer a close observation on system status following small breezes in operation. Based on the results, the integration of the EVs into the grid can immensely enhance the socio and techno-economic aspects of the system operation.","PeriodicalId":444960,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Technologies - Asia (ISGT ASIA)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132270450","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}

The major challenge of the used data is the relatively low number of available samples in certain furan intervals.
