With the increasing popularity of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), the coordinated charging of PHEVs has become an important issue in power distribution systems. This paper employs a multi-objective optimization model for coordinated charging of PHEVs in the system, in which the problem of valley filling and total cost minimization are both investigated under the system’s technical constraints. To this end, a hierarchical optimal algorithm combining the water-filling-based algorithm with the consensus-based method is proposed to solve the constrained optimization problem. Moreover, a moving horizon approach is adopted to deal with the case where PHEVs arrive and leave randomly. We show that the proposed algorithm not only enhances the stability of the power load but also achieves the global minimization of vehicle owners charging costs, and its implementation is convenient in the multi-level power distribution system integrating the physical power grid with a heterogeneous information network. Numerical simulations are presented to show the desirable performance of the proposed algorithm.

Nowadays, due to the increasing number of disasters, improving distribution system resiliency is a new challenging issue for researchers. One of the main methods for improving the resiliency in distribution systems is to supply critical loads after disasters during the power outage and before system restorations. In this paper, a “Sustainable and resilient smart house” is introduced for the first time by using plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). PHEVs have the ability to use their fuel for generating electricity in emergency situations as the Vehicle to Grid (V2G) scheme. This ability, besides smart house control management, provides an opportunity for distribution system operators to use their extra energy for supplying a critical load in the system. The proposed control strategy in this paper is dedicated to a short duration power outage, which includes a large percent of the events. Then, improvement of the resiliency of distribution systems is investigated through supplying smart residential customers and injecting extra power to the main grid. A novel formulation is proposed for increasing the injected power of the smart house to the main grid using PHEVs. The effectiveness of the proposed method in increasing power injection during power outages is shown in simulation results.

The modeling method and control strategy for series hybrid electric vehicles were presented in this paper. Firstly, the system structure and operation principles are discussed systematically; and then a control strategy is proposed based on the modeling of powertrain. Control strategy focus on the multi-modes switch logic and power distribution. In the last part of this paper, the simulation made in MATLAB/Simulink was introduced, which results indicate that the model and control strategy are correct.

DC power distribution systems will play an important role in the future urban power distribution system, while the charging and discharging requirements of electric vehicles have a great impact on the voltage stability of the DC power distribution systems. A robust control method based on H∞ loop shaping method is proposed to suppress the effect of uncertain integration on voltage stability of DC distribution system. The results of frequency domain analysis and time domain simulation show that the proposed robust controller can effectively suppress the DC bus voltage oscillation caused by the uncertain integration of electric vehicle, and the robustness is strong.
