Distributed coordination of electric vehicles for conforming to an energy schedule

This paper proposes a distributed electric vehicle (EV) coordination mechanism enabling the management of the charging/discharging set-points of an EV fleet. A distributed iterative algorithm is introduced to manage EV charging/discharging in the intra-day operation aiming to meet the mobility energy requirements of the EV fleet respecting the day-ahead schedule of the EV aggregator. The proposed distributed EV charging coordination can be applied considering any day-ahead energy scheduling profile defined by the EV aggregator's business policy.
