Integration of Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) and Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) into Smart Distribution Grids

这项研究的主要目标是开发新的数学模型，新的算法解决方案和技术的分析，并设计方法，以解决各种新兴的问题，在智能电网。该研究将在两个广泛的研究轨道上进行，轨道A将致力于研究插电式电动汽车（PEV）的操作和控制方面，而轨道B将研究家庭能源管理系统（HEMS）与智能电网的集成。这两个研究轨道将有足够的交叉联系和研究思想的交流，通过参与学生。每个研究轨道被细分为一组研究主题，以帮助研究人员专注于项目中定义紧密的研究问题。 在A轨道内，研究将集中于三个特定主题，即开发数学模型和算法以安排PEV充电，PEV充电站的最佳选址以及为智能配电系统开发适当的配电潮流模型，以研究HEMS和PEV对电网的影响。 研究跟踪-B将集中在两个主题，即数学模型和调度算法的发展，为当地的配电公司，将HEMS和系统级信息和系统的HEMS集成的影响，优化操作。

The main objectives of this research are to develop new mathematical models, new algorithmic solutions and techniques for analysis, and design methods to address various emerging issues in Smart Grids. The research will be addressed in two broad research tracks, Track-A will be geared towards examining the operations and control aspects of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) while Track-B will examine the integration of home energy management systems (HEMS) to Smart Grids. These two research tracks will have enough cross-linkages and exchange of research ideas, through participating students. Each research track is sub-divided into a set of research themes, so as to help the researchers focus on closely defined research problems within the project. Within Track-A, research will focus on three specific themes namely, development of mathematical models and algorithms to schedule PEV charging, optimal siting of PEV charging stations and the development of appropriate distribution power flow models for smart distribution systems to examine the impact of HEMS and PEVs on the grid. Research Track-B will focus on two themes namely, the development of mathematical models and scheduling algorithms for optimal operation of local distribution companies incorporating HEMS and system level information and system impacts of integration of HEMS.
