With every passing second, we witness the effect of global environmental impact fossil fuels and carbon emissions, to which nations across globe respond by coming up with ambitious goals become carbon-free energy-efficient. At same time, electric vehicles (EVs) are developed as a possible solution reach this goal making cleaner environment facilitating smarter transportation modes. This excelle...

This paper proposes centralized and distributed optimization models for V2G applications to provide frequency regulation in power systems the electricity market. Battery degradation dynamic EV usages such as driving period, distance, multiple charging/discharging locations are modeled. The problem is formulated into linear programming (LP) model by introducing two sets of slack variables. Howev...

1 Platooning allows vehicles to travel with small intervehicle distance in a coordinated fashion thanks 2 to vehicle-to-vehicle connectivity. When applied at a larger scale, platooning will create signifi3 cant opportunities for energy savings due to reduced aerodynamic drag, as well as increased road 4 capacity and congestion reduction resulting from shorter vehicle headways. However, these po...

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is a promising approach whereby electric vehicles (EVs) are used to store excess electricity supply (e.g., from renewable sources), which is sold back to the grid in times of scarcity. In this paper we consider the setting of a smart car park, where EVs come and go, and can be used for V2G while parked. We develop novel allocation and payment mechanisms which truthfully el...

In this chapter, we propose a method for the utility grid operator and aggregators to coordinate multiple grid-connected electric vehicles (EVs) so as to provide electricpower ancillary services accounting for quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees for EV charging in a multilevel vehicle-to-grid (V2G) system. This method includes applying consensus-algorithm-based distributed control, designing th...

The paper focuses on presenting a proposed framework to effectively integrate the aggregated battery vehicles into the grid as distributed energy resources to act as controllable loads to levelize the demand on the system during off-peak conditions and as a generation/storage device during the day to provide capacity and energy services to the grid. The paper also presents practical approaches ...
