Priority Analysis of Influence Factors for Electric Vehicle Demand Response Strategies

Abstract

As the penetration of renewable energy continues to increase, the demand-side resources in the grid will become more and more important. Electric vehicles (EVs) account for a relatively large proportion of demand-side resources, but individual and social factors have been less considered in multifactorial studies affecting EV participation in demand response (DR), and the multiscenario DR process has not been adequately studied. Therefore, an EV demand response strategy considering the influence of multiple factors is proposed in this paper. Firstly, a multisource charging load characteristic model is constructed by analyzing the characteristics of EV charging behavior under multiple scenarios. Secondly, the DEMATEL-AISM method is used to analyze the degree of influence of personal and social factors on users’ charging behavior under complex social environments, and the dominant factors in each scenario are identified. Finally, based on the analysis of the dominant factors in multiple scenarios, an EV regulation strategy under the influence of multiple factors is developed to achieve peak shaving. The feasibility of the proposed method is verified through simulation cases. The simulation results reveal that the revenues of aggregators and users are improved, and the stability of the power system is enhanced.
