A Fuzzy-Based Multi-Stage Scheduling Strategy for Electric Vehicle Charging and Discharging Considering V2G and Renewable Energy Integration
Source abstract
Abstract
The large-scale integration of electric vehicles (EVs) presents both challenges and opportunities for power grid stability and renewable energy utilization. Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology enables EVs to serve as mobile energy storage units, facilitating peak shaving and valley filling while promoting the local consumption of photovoltaic and wind power. However, uncertainties in renewable energy generation and EV arrivals complicate the scheduling of bidirectional charging in stations equipped with hybrid energy storage systems. To address this, this paper proposes a multi-stage rolling optimization framework combined with a fuzzy logic-based decision-making method. First, a bidirectional charging scheduling model is established with the objectives of maximizing station revenue and minimizing load fluctuation. Then, an EV charging potential assessment system is designed, evaluating both maximum discharge capacity and charging flexibility. A fuzzy controller is developed to allocate EVs to unidirectional or bidirectional chargers by considering real-time predictions of vehicle arrivals and renewable energy generation. Simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed method consistently outperforms a greedy scheduling baseline. In large-scale scenarios, it achieves an increase in station revenue, elevates the regional renewable energy consumption rate, and provides an additional equivalent peak-shaving capacity. The proposed approach can effectively coordinate heterogeneous resources under uncertainty, providing a viable scheduling solution for EV-aggregated participation in grid services and enhanced renewable energy integration.
