Self Scheduling of Plug-In Electric Vehicle Aggregator to Provide Balancing Services for Wind Power

This paper focuses on the self-scheduling problem of an aggregator of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) purchasing energy in the day-ahead market, and offering balancing services for a wind power producer, i.e., committing to compensate the forecast errors of wind power plants. The aggregated charging and discharging flexibility of the PEV fleet is represented by a probabilistic virtual battery mod...
