Capacity value estimation of plug-in electric vehicle parking-lots in urban power systems: A physical-social coupling perspective

摘要: Abstract This paper presents a study to investigate the potential role of public plug-in electric vehicle grid-connected parking lot (GPL) in improving sustainability power supply as virtual energy storage urban grid. For this, comprehensive evaluation framework is proposed which introduces an extension generation-oriented concept capacity value GPL, with aim assessing their contribution adequacy for different settings. In order capture volatility available from compound parametric model developed perspective physical-social system. Comparing peer studies, our approach has prominent advantages: (a) it accounts effects both technical and human factors associated GPL operations; (b) considers uncertainty users’ preference using its dynamics externalities. Hence, can provide more realistic representation operating characteristics GPL. A general based on sequential Monte-Carlo simulation method derive corresponding indices. The effectiveness validated through implementation standard test case real distribution system China. obtained results suggest that GPLs could vary significantly, dependent operational facilities charging pattern vehicles. Additionally, uncertainties drivers’ behaviors have noticeable impact reliability benefits program.
