内容:

Electric vehicles (EVs) are likely to become very popular worldwide within the next few years. With possibly millions of such vehicles being operated across the country, one can establish a distributed electricity storage system that comprises of the EVs’ batteries with a huge total storage capacity. An effective Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) architecture can help the power grid in several different ways, including balancing loads by "peak shaving" and "valley filling", providing ancillary services such as frequency and voltage regulations, and buffering renewable power sources such as wind power. As EVs are controlled by their owners distributively instead of by the power grid centrally, it is important to design a good incentive mechanism such that EVs are willing to work together to achieve the above functionalities. In this talk, we consider two game theoretical models of V2G applications. In the first model, we try to understand the interactions among EVs and aggregators in a V2G market, where EVs participate in providing frequency regulation service to the grid. In the second model, we look at how EVs can help with the large-scale integration of wind power into the grid. For both models, we analyze the game theoretical interactions of EVs under the grid's smart pricing policy, and show how the equilibria provide benefits to both EV owners and the power grid. This is a joint work with Chenye Wu from Tsinghua University and Hamed Mohsenian-Rad from Texas Tech University.
