Title
Distributed control of electric vehicle charging
Abstract
Electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to soon become widespread in the distribution network. The large magnitude of EV charging load and unpredictable mobility of EVs make them a challenge for the distribution network. Leveraging fast-timescale measurements and low-latency broadband communications enabled by the smart grid, we propose a distributed control algorithm that adapts the charging rate of EVs to the available capacity of the network ensuring that network resources are used efficiently and each EV charger receives a fair share of these resources. We obtain sufficient conditions for stability of this control algorithm in a static network, and demonstrate through simulation in a test distribution network that our algorithm quickly converges to the optimal rate allocation.
