Demand-side flexibility will play a key role in reaching high levels of renewable generation
and making the transition to a more sustainable energy system. Indeed, end users can …

Plug-in vehicles can behave either as loads or as a distributed energy and power resource
in a concept known as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) connection. This paper reviews the current …

Electric vehicle (EV) is essential to reduce the emission caused by conventional vehicle.
Placement of electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) is crucial to fulfilling the charging …

Grid integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and electric vehicles (EVs) has been
increasing in recent years, mainly with two motivations: reducing energy cost, and reducing …

A virtual power plant (VPP) is formulated and developed as a service-centric aggregator that
enables the market integration of distributed energy resources and simultaneously supports …

Home energy management (HEM) systems enable residential consumers to participate in
demand response programs (DRPs) more actively. However, HEM systems confront some …

This paper determines the optimal bidding strategy of an electric vehicle (EV) aggregator
participating in day-ahead energy and regulation markets using stochastic optimization. Key …

An aggregator acts as a mediator between the system operator and residential customers,
enabling mutually beneficial coordination for electric vehicle (EV) owners and the power …

In this paper, we study an optimal day-ahead price-based power scheduling problem for a
community-scale microgrid (MG). The proposed optimization framework aims to balance …

Smart interactions among the smart grid, aggregators, and EVs can bring various benefits to
all parties involved, eg, improved reliability and safety for the smart gird, increased profits for …
