CPS: Synergy: Collaborative Research: Architectural and Algorithmic Solutions for Large Scale PEV Integration into Power Grids

该项目设计了插电式混合动力汽车(PEV)并入电网的算法。具体地说，该项目将在分销/零售层面制定和解决对电动汽车生态系统中的各种实体--电动汽车车主、商业充电站车主、聚合器和分销公司--至关重要的优化问题。将考虑在商业充电站和住宅充电，无论是在电动汽车仅用作负载的情况下，还是在配备车辆到家庭(V2H)或车辆到电网(V2G)能量再注入能力的情况下，它们也可以用作电源。该项目的重点是由不同的个体参与者进行分布式决策，以实现分析系统级的性能保证。运输市场的电子化为公用事业公司和汽车制造商提供收入增长，降低消费者的运营成本，并对环境产生好处。通过解决PEV给电网带来额外负载时会出现的问题，以及通过解决目前阻碍PEV作为分布式存储资源使用的挑战，这项研究将直接影响社会。所得设计原则亦适用于其他数码实体基建系统。与行业合作伙伴的密切合作将使研究立足于实际问题，并确保将结果迅速传播到市场。一个强大的教育部分将把拟议的研究纳入课堂，以便对本科生和研究生进行更好的培训。该项目的详细情况将在http://ee.nd.edu/faculty/vgupta/research/funding/cps_pev.html上提供。

This project designs algorithms for the integration of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PEVs) into the power grid. Specifically, the project will formulate and solve optimization problems critical to various entities in the PEV ecosystem -- PEV owners, commercial charging station owners, aggregators, and distribution companies -- at the distribution / retail level. Charging at both commercial charging stations and at residences will be considered, for both the case when PEVs only function as loads, and the case when they can also function as sources, equipped with vehicle-to-home (V2H) or vehicle-to-grid (V2G) energy reinjection capability. The focus of the project is on distributed decision making by various individual players to achieve analytical system-level performance guarantees.Electrification of the transportation market offers revenue growth for utility companies and automobile manufacturers, lower operational costs for consumers, and benefits to the environment. By addressing problems that will arise as PEVs impose extra load on the grid, and by solving challenges that currently impede the use of PEVs as distributed storage resources, this research will directly impact the society. The design principles gained will also be applicable to other cyber-physical infrastructural systems. A close collaboration with industrial partners will ground the research in real problems and ensure quick dissemination of results to the marketplace. A strong educational component will integrate the proposed research into the classroom to allow better training of both undergraduate and graduate students.
