With a large-scale introduction of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), a new entity, the PEV fleet aggregator, is expected to be responsible for managing the charging of, and for purchasing electricity for, the vehicles. This book chapter deals with the problem of an aggregator bidding into the day-ahead electricity market with the objective of minimizing charging costs while satisfying the PEVs’...

using an electric differential (ed) in electric vehicle has many advantages such as flexibility and direct torque control of the wheels during cornering and risky maneuvers. despite its reported successes and advantages, the ed has several problems limits its applicability, for instance, an increment of control loops and an increase of computational effort. in this paper, an electric differenti...

differential steering of in-wheel electric vehicle provides the functions of both active steering and power assisted steering with the coupling control of force and displacement transfer characteristic of system. a collaborative optimization model of the differential power-assisted steering system of in-wheel electric vehicle is built, with steering economy as the main system optimization goal,...

Electric vehicle aggregator (EVAGG) is an independent entity that facilitates exchanging electricity between electric vehicles (EVs) and the grid. Energy hub (EH) another playing a remarkable role in enhancing efficiency, flexibility, reliability of multi-energy systems. Although interacting various agents beneficial to enhance their capability, it challenging schedule such interconnected entit...

The popularity of electric vehicles may lead to negative effects on the power system if the charging procedures of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are uncoordinated. In order to solve the problem, the hierarchical and zonal dispatching architecture and a new bi-level optimization model are respectively presented for the charging/discharging schedules of the PEVs. The upper level model is devot...

In this paper, a survey is presented on the use of optimization models for integration electric vehicles (EVs) and charging stations (CSs) in energy system, paying particular attention both to planning problems (i.e., those related long term decisions such as siting sizing CSs), operational management optimal scheduling EVs smart grids, microgrids buildings taking into account vehicle-to-grid (...

The large scale penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) will introduce technical challenges to the distribution grid, but also carries the potential for vehicle-to-grid services. Namely, if available in large enough numbers, EVs can be used as a distributed energy resource (DER) and their presence can influence optimal DER investment and scheduling decisions in microgrids. In this work, a novel ...
