Abstract |
The predictable increasing adoption of EV by residential users imposes the necessity of ElectricVehicle charging coordination, in order to charge effectively while minimizing the impact on the grid.In this paper, a two-stage distributed coordination algorithm for electric vehicle charging managementin a community microgrid is proposed. Each local EV charging controller is taken as an agent, whichcan manage the charging to achieve the optimization of the whole community by communicating in asparse network. The proposed algorithm aims at optimizing real-time, which manages the chargingactivity based on the real-time price, while meeting the requirement of technical constraints of thedistribution system. |
