Title
Wind power integration via aggregator-consumer coordination: A game theoretic approach
Abstract
Due to the stochastic nature of wind power, its large-scale integration into the power grid requires techniques to constantly balance the load with the time-varying supply. This can be done via smart scheduling of energy consumption and storage units among end users. In this paper, we propose a game-theoretic algorithm to be implemented in an aggregator in order to coordinate the operation of demand-side resources via pricing in order to tackle the intermittency and fluctuations in wind power generation. The demand-side resources to be considered are both non-shiftable and shiftable load, in particular, electric vehicles that charge or discharge their batteries to provide extra resource management flexibility. After formulating the interactions in an aggregator-consumer system as a game, we analytically prove the existence and uniqueness of the Nash equilibrium in the formulated game model. Simulation results show that our proposed design scheme can benefit both end users (in terms of reducing energy expenses) and the power grid (in terms of integrating wind power).
