Abstract |
Reasonable control for charging and discharging electric vehicles (EVs) can improve the safety and economy of the electric power system. In addition, the charging cost for EV users can be significantly reduced. Demand response (DR) strategy is one of the key technologies for orderly charging and discharging EVs, which can address many problems caused by large-scale EVs interfacing with the utility and improve renewable energy utilization. A literature review on charging and discharging strategies for EVs based on DR is presented. Definition of DR is illustrated. The charging and discharging strategies of EVs based on DR is elaborated, which can be divided into price-based and incentive-based demand response strategies. Finally, comparison among different DR strategies for charging and discharging EVs is given. |
