Abstract
The adoption of Electric Vehicle (EV) can shave the peak load and flatten the load profile in an urban area. However, the uncontrolled patterns of simultaneous and randomised EV charging may increase the peak load and thus destabilise the power grid. To address this problem effectively, this paper proposes an optimal charging scheme with the objective of lowering the power fluctuation level. The charging scheme takes into account the uncertainty of EV's driver behaviour and EV charging demand model with minimal impacts on daily routine of EV users. Firstly, a power fluctuation level problem is formulated and a novel EV charging scheme based on Genetic Algorithm is further proposed to solve the problem. The simulation results have shown the robustness of the proposed scheme in lowering the power fluctuation level and the overall peak demand significantly in the grid system.
