Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for mining demand response potential of an electric vehicle fast charging station, and belongs to the technical field of power systems. Background Art
[0002] The global trend of carbon reduction has promoted the widespread popularization of environmentally friendly electric vehicles. In order to meet the travel needs of electric vehicles, charging stations have been widely built and their number has increased significantly. As a result, the interdependence between the distribution network and the transportation network has been significantly enhanced.
[0003] There has been an increasing number of studies devoted to the coordinated dispatch of coupled power and transportation networks. Within the existing power-transportation coupled system dispatch framework, the current method of adjusting charging loads is to use marginal prices to set the charging fees of charging stations. This method manages the charging loads of charging stations with varying marginal prices by capturing the congestion state of the distribution network. However, the marginal price-based regulation method is based on the fully developed electricity spot market, which is not yet fully established. In addition, the deterministic marginal price has limited flexibility in managing the charging load of charging stations and ignores the profitability of charging stations, which may lead to a decrease in the interest of profit-seeking capital in investing and operating charging stations.

[0132] We consider the optimal pricing strategy for EV charging stations. The electricity selling price of the distribution network operator is considered as the input of this process, while the charging price of the EV fast charging station is the output.

[0158]
[0159] In the third step, after the charging station operator observes the historical and current distribution network electricity prices and demand response information, it outputs the charging price of each charging station.
[0160] The fourth step is to obtain the final result of the user game by solving the traffic distribution model that takes into account user equilibrium, and return the charging load to the distribution network and charging stations.

Constraint (31) summarizes the corresponding relationship between path traffic flow and electric vehicle travel demand. Constraint (32) ensures the non-negativity of path traffic flow. Constraint (33) reflects the relationship between the charging load of electric vehicle fast charging stations and path traffic flow.
[0172] Using historical typical daily travel demand and charging prices, we adopt normal distribution for sampling to obtain a large number of sample features, solve the above model based on commercial solvers (such as GURUBI, CPLEX, etc.), obtain historical path traffic as labels, build a database, and use transformer with multi-head attention mechanism to minimize training error.
[0173] In order to ensure that the distribution network agent does not violate the safe operation constraints of the power grid during the training and decision-making process, the CPO algorithm is used to obtain the optimal decision, including:

[0181]
[0182] In the formula, Corresponding to the true reward function, Corresponding to the constraint cost function, H represents D KL .
[0183] In order to obtain the optimal action strategy in a given environment, the CPO algorithm operates by interacting with reward and cost functions. The objective function of the CPO algorithm is defined as follows (40).
[0184] When the above models (37)-(39) are feasible, the update rule is derived by solving the following problem:
[0185] min θ c+b T (θ-θ k )(40)

[0199] Step 5: Iterate steps 2 to 4 repeatedly until the reward curve converges.
[0200] Results
[0201] 1. Comparison of charging load control results
[0202] exist Figure 2 In this paper, we compare three different charging load regulation methods. Between 11 am and 2 pm, distribution network operators try to adapt to renewable energy by increasing charging load. To achieve this goal, the marginal price-based method sets the charging price at a relatively low level to attract more electric vehicle users to charge. When the grid is heavily burdened, especially between 5 pm and 8 pm, the marginal price-based method will significantly increase the charging price. It is not difficult to see that although this strategy can effectively reduce the peak charging load, it does not fully consider the profitability of charging stations.
[0203] On the other hand, in the absence of a demand response mechanism, charging station operators are mainly concerned with maximizing their own economic benefits, especially during periods of high electric vehicle traffic, when the charging load is significantly higher. The demand response mechanism proposed in this patent successfully combines the advantages of the first two methods. This method sets a higher demand response cap when the charging load needs to be increased, encouraging charging stations to set low prices to attract more users to charge. When the coupled network load is heavy, a lower demand response cap will be set to reduce overload during peak hours.
[0204] 2. Comparison of Charging Station Revenue
[0205] In order to motivate charging station operators to actively participate in the implementation of distribution network demand response policies, it is necessary to ensure that the economic benefits of charging stations are no less than the profits obtained through non-demand response methods, such as Figure 3 Therefore, if the distribution network implements a demand response strategy to manage the charging load, appropriate economic compensation must be provided to the charging station operators to offset the economic losses caused by the change in charging load.
[0206] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any other form of limitation to the present invention. Any modification or equivalent change made based on the technical essence of the present invention still falls within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
