Electric vehicles in volatile power system operations

In this paper, the optimal hourly integration of EV fleets with the stochastic operation of wind energy is presented. The stochastic security constrained unit commitment (SCUC) is proposed to procure an hourly commitment and dispatch schedule for security-constrained power generation facilities (including thermal, hydro, wind, and EV fleets) that would minimize the operation cost of power systems while satisfying the required EV charging and utilization requirements.
