Abstract

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 the control objective functions and constraints for providing ancillary services, and designing the constraints for charging/discharging power schedules and the individual QoS requirements of EVs. The consensus-algorithm-based distributed control consists of operation protocols for control and communication among the utility grid operator, aggregators, and EVs, calculating the control signals in the utility grid operator and aggregators, determining the optimal charging/discharging power schedules of EVs so as to provide a required type of ancillary services as well as satisfy the QoS requirements of EVs.
