Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The “double carbon” strategy accelerated the processes of achieving clean energy production, high energy consumption, increasingly uniform energy allocation, and gradually efficient energy use. The profound adjustment of energy pattern will definitely bring significant changes in the future development of the electric power system. In this process, electric vehicles (EVs) are vigorously promoted for their energy-saving and low-carbon advantages. However, the randomness of the load of many EVs connected to the grid will increase the peak-to-valley difference in the grid load, which will lead to serious problems such as tidal current crossing and transformer overload in the distribution network, bringing great challenges to the stable operation of the grid.

Therefore, in order to achieve the orderly charging and discharging management of EVs and to take advantage of the multiple services that they can provide to the power system, it is urgent to explore the charging and discharging load modeling, prediction, and management methods of EVs interacting with the power grid in the context of “double carbon”. How to sort out the complex influencing factors of EV load prediction, deeply explore the flexible regulation potential of EV load, study the use of virtual power plant as an important aggregation means to achieve the orderly management of EV load, and further guide the participation of EVs in energy market and auxiliary service market by means of incentive tariff are important to give a full picture of the advantages of massive EVs in the development of new power systems and energy internet constructions.

Due to numerous distributed power sources connecting to the grid, which results in strong grid volatility and diminished power quality, the traditional energy storage configuration is limited in terms of flexibility and economy. Based on this, integrating electric vehicles (EVs) into the distribution network as energy storage devices has emerged as a promising development direction. This paper proposes a frequency-response optimization study considering the strong uncertainty model of EVs. First, from the perspective of temporal-spatial characteristics, energy storage resources, and users’ willingness to respond, the strong uncertainty model of EVs is constructed by fitting the trip chain and the access probability of their participation in energy storage. Second, the frequency optimization model is integrated and constructed according to the response capability of a single EV. Finally, examples and scenarios are analyzed to verify that the maximum and minimum frequency offsets are reduced by 69.41% and 66.69%, respectively, which significantly reduces frequency fluctuations and stabilizes the output of EV clusters.
