Automated trading in vehicle-to-grid with price uncertainty using consensus

Automated trading in vehicle-to-grid with price uncertainty using consensus
In recent years, there has been growing interest in computational approaches to using renewable sources more effectively. Specifically, vehicle-to-grid (V2G), which is where an EV offers electric power to the grid when parked, can be used to store solar and wind power and significantly decrease the amount of primary power that is utilized for transportation. Furthermore, it offers a potential for reducing the consumer’s power cost if used effectively. In this work, we develop a novel heuristic algorithm that can trade on behalf of the V2G drivers in terms of maximising their profits in an hour-ahead price (HAP) market, considering price uncertainty. Our proposed algorithm combines the concepts of consensus and expected value with a backward induction approach. We then run the proposed algorithm with two types of consensuses voting rules (Borda and majority voting) and with expected value and compare the results. We run simulations with different scenarios and show that the expected value approach outperforms the other two (Borda and majority) in all these scenarios.

Abstract

In recent years, there has been growing interest in computational approaches to using renewable sources more effectively. Specifically, vehicle-to-grid (V2G), which is where an EV offers electric power to the grid when parked, can be used to store solar and wind power and significantly decrease the amount of primary power that is utilized for transportation. Furthermore, it offers a potential for reducing the consumer’s power cost if used effectively. In this work, we develop a novel heuristic algorithm that can trade on behalf of the V2G drivers in terms of maximising their profits in an hour-ahead price (HAP) market, considering price uncertainty. Our proposed algorithm combines the concepts of consensus and expected value with a backward induction approach. We then run the proposed algorithm with two types of consensuses voting rules (Borda and majority voting) and with expected value and compare the results. We run simulations with different scenarios and show that the expected value approach outperforms the other two (Borda and majority) in all these scenarios.
