Integration of Distribution Grid Constraints in an Event-driven Control Strategy for Plug-in Electric Vehicles in a Multi-aggregator Setting


== Abstract ==

In literature, several mechanisms are proposed to prevent Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) from overloading the distribution grid. However, it is unclear how such technical mechanisms influence the market level control strategies of a PEV aggregator. Moreover, the presence of multiple aggregators in the same distribution grid further complicates the problem.  Often, grid congestion management mechanisms are proposed to solve the potential  interference between the technical and market objectives. Such methods come at the expense of additional complexity and costs, which is not beneficial for the large scale application of demand response. In our work, we investigate this problem by combining  a simple low level voltage droop controller with an event driven control strategy for the coordination of charging PEVs. The approach is evaluated in different distribution grid settings, using two different market objectives for the aggregator.
