Abstract

In a smart community (SC) with renewable energy sources (RES), flexible charging service can be provisioned to electric vehicles (EVs), where EVs can choose clean energy, traditional energy, or the mixture of them on demand. Considering the existence of various entities in the SC and the limited generation capacity of RES, it becomes of significance yet very challenging to optimally schedule the charging service for EVs with different consumption preferences. In this paper, we propose a charging scheme for EVs in a SC integrated with RES by using a game theoretical approach. Firstly, a three-party energy network is proposed to model the interactions among the power grid, EVs, and aggregators in the smart grid. Secondly, the trust model is presented to improve safety of power trading by evaluating the reliability of aggregators. Thirdly, based on the four-stage stackelberg game, the optimal strategies of three energy entities are analyzed by solving the stackelberg equilibrium (SE). Furthermore, a weighted max-min fairness (WMMF) based algorithm is proposed to fairly allocate the limited renewable power for EVs. Finally, extensive simulations are carried out to evaluate and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme through comparison with conventional schemes.
