With the popularization of electric vehicles, free charging behaviors of electric vehicle owners can lead to uncertainty about charging in both time and space. A time-spatial dispatching strategy for the distribution network guided by electric vehicle charging fees is proposed in this paper, which aims to solve the network congestion problem caused by the unrestrained and free charging behaviors of large numbers of electric vehicles. In this strategy, congestion severity of different lines is analyzed and the relationship between the congested lines and the charging stations is clarified. A price elastic matrix is introduced to reflect the degree of owners’ response to the charging prices. A pricing scheme for optimal real-time charging fees for multiple charging stations is designed according to the congestion severity of the lines and the charging power of the related charging stations. Charging price at different charging station at different time is different, it can influence the charging behaviors of vehicle owners. The simulation results confirmed that the proposed congestion dispatching strategy considers the earnings of the operators, charging cost to the owners and the satisfaction of the owners. Moreover, the strategy can influence owners to make judicious charging plans that help to solve congestion problems in the network and improve the safety and economy of the power grid.

Network externality is a vital characteristic of the products in economics of networks. Network congestion will lead to negative network externality when digital products are communicated in the net. It will effectively decrease the negative network externality via developing a suitable pricing mechanism. This paper begins with the utility of a single user and that of the whole network to build a network congestion utility model to analyze it. As TCP connection has an autonomous congestion-detecting mechanism which can increase the utilization of network resources, we regard the TCP connection pricing as the basis of our research.

Fluctuation and prediction errors of wind power would cause a large amount of automatic generation control (AGC) adjustment costs, which lead to the problem of power curtailment. A reasonable mechanism of grid-connection electricity price may encourage wind farms to take measures to reduce the deviation between output power and schedule power, which is helpful for source-network coordination and reducing wind power curtailment. An alterable electricity pricing mechanism considering wind power deviation rate is proposed. In each schedule cycle, electricity price is adjusted according to the deviation rate and its historical change trend. In this way, wind farms will be encouraged to configure energy storage to promote the accordance of wind output power with schedule power to the greatest extent. Given the statistical characteristic of prediction errors of wind power, this paper proposes a schedule power model, taking least squares of output power deviation as objective function, and then puts forward an engineering application method for determining schedule power. This paper analyzes the overall cost and revenue of a wind farm to configure energy storage and determine the optimal energy storage capacity with the goal of maximizing the profit of the wind farm. In the case analysis, the effect of the deviation rate and its historical change trend, the deviation rate tolerance coefficient on electricity price is analyzed. The case analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed alterable electricity pricing mechanism and shows that the mechanism is helpful at reducing wind power output deviation and wind curtailment.
