Energy Coordination of EV for Optimal Utilization in Smart Grid based on Uncertainty Modelling

Abstract

The paper focuses on optimal operation of a smart neighbourhood with houses comprising of Photovoltaic array (PV), Electric Vehicle (EV), flexible/ non-flexible loads and Energy Storage System (ESS). EVs are also used as a power generation source apart from PV and ESS. For this, House-to-self load (H2H), House-to-Neighbour (H2N) and House-to-Grid (H2G) modes of transmission are proposed. Markov Chain model addresses uncertainties in EV availability. In this, a transition matrix is developed based on historical travel data of consumers. The minimizing energy cost is taken as the main objective. Hybrid Ant colony-Cuckoo search (ACO-CS) algorithm is proposed to optimize the charging/discharging schedule of EV to attain this objective. © 2020 IEEE.
