Abstract
Plug-in electric vehicle adoption has increased rapidly during the last decade. During the COVID-19 pandemic, global electric vehicle sales increased as internal combustion engine vehicle sales plummeted, and most recently, electric vehicle sales have continued to experience significant growth. However, the rapid development of plug-in electric vehicle technology, including plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and battery electric vehicles, and their penetration in electricity networks presents challenges for electric power systems. Two key issues are how to manage the impact of charging and discharging large numbers of plug-in electric vehicles concurrently on the electrical grid and how to address the impact on vehicle batteries due to bidirectional charging systems such as vehicle-to-grid, where two-way flow of electricity occurs between vehicles and the grid.
Various strategies have been proposed for managing charging and discharging in vehicle-to-grid systems, but uncertainties associated with vehicle owners and socio-technical complexities of stakeholders are largely ignored. A review of the literature reveals inadequate analysis of trade-offs between competing stakeholder objectives and limited focus on homogeneous vehicle populations.
This study develops a bidirectional charging framework for vehicle-to-grid systems based on socio-technical system design and operations research that addresses trade-offs between participants. In addition, this research develops a preliminary degradation cost model and charging strategy for battery wear.
