Survey of Electric Vehicle Charging Load and Dispatch Control Strategies

With the popularization and application of electric vehicles,charging load has a great influence on the power system operation.Charging Control is becoming an important power system operation strategy as well as generation dispatch.A volume of research has been devoted to charging control(including vehicle-to-grid,so-called V2G) which can not only alleviate the adverse effects of charging load but also support the grid operation such as leveling the load and promoting the integration of renewable generation.We reviewed the recent investigations on charging load and charging control including the analysis and simulation models of charging load,the revenue of charging control and dispatch control strategies in this paper.In addition,we pointed out some open questions and potential research directions in this paper.
