Bilevel Optimization for Improved Flexibility Aggregation Models of Electric Vehicle Fleets
Electric vehicle (EV) fleets are expected to become an increasingly important source of flexibility for power system operations. However, accurately capturing the flexibility potential of numerous and heterogeneous EVs remains a significant challenge. We propose a bilevel optimization formulation to enhance flexibility aggregations of electric vehicle fleets. The outer level minimizes scheduling deviations between the aggregated and reference EV units, while the inner level maximizes the aggreg…
