Abstract
The collection of electric vehicles (EVs) can be regarded as a massive storage to the power grid so as to provide vehicle-to-grid (V2G) ancillary services, such as frequency regulation. In this paper, a novel hierarchical framework for joint optimal power flow routing and decentralized scheduling with V2G regulation services is proposed. First, the optimal power flow is formulated by incorporating with power flow routers (PFRs). The problem is solved through the semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation to pursue the optimal solution. Second, the scheduling problem with V2G regulation service is proposed as a convex optimization problem. The related decentralized algorithm is then devised in order to find the schedules of EVs. Our simulation results show that voltage regulation is effectively achieved and PFRs can help reduce the apparent power loss of the system significantly. In addition, the decentralized scheduling algorithm with V2G regulation service can smooth out the power fluctuations at the buses attached with EVs.
