Optimal Collaborative Scheduling Strategy of Mobile Energy Storage System and Electric Vehicles Considering SpatioTemporal Characteristics

Abstract

The widespread adoption of electric vehicles introduces significant challenges to power grid stability due to uncoordinated large-scale charging and discharging behaviors. By addressing these challenges, mobile energy storage systems emerge as a flexible resource. To maximize the synergistic potential of jointly scheduling electric vehicles and mobile energy storage systems, this study develops a collaborative scheduling model incorporating the prediction of geographically and chronologically varying distributions of electric vehicles. Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-III is then applied to solve this model. Validation through case studies, conducted on the IEEE-69 bus system and an actual urban road network in southern China, demonstrates the model’s efficacy. Case studies reveal that compared to the initial disordered state, the optimized strategy yields a 122.6% increase in profits of the electric vehicle charging station operator, a 44.7% reduction in costs to the electric vehicle user, and a 62.5% decrease in voltage deviation. Furthermore, non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-III exhibits superior comprehensive performance in multi-objective optimization when benchmarked against two alternative algorithms.
