Contents Overview System Model Problem Formulation Proposed System Evaluation Conclusion 2

Overview Challenges ▫Charging and discharging a large number of PHEVs ▫Supply and demand should closely match  Lower supply: outage  Higher supply: waste ▫Intermittent source of sustainable energy sources 3

Overview Contribution ▫“token”: currency of energy  gt: generation token  ct: consumption token  Attributes: ID, type, gen/con, power level, duration, start and expiration time, status  Energy = power *duration ▫Token entitles owner to produce or consume a certain amount of electrical energy ▫How to schedule tokens?  LM: Creates and Modifies tokens  TMS: “Admit and Schedule“ or “Reject” tokens 4 Token Management System (TMS) Local Module (LM)

Research Objective Goal: Maximize utilization Utilization = total consumption / total generation Token Utilization = total energy of the selected consTokens / total energy of the genTokens Application-Level communication protocol 5

Problem Formulation (1) maximizes the average utilization ▫= total energy of the selected consTokens / total energy of the genTokens. (2) for every point in the activation time of a genToken, the sum of the power levels of the packed consToken instances is less than the power level of the genToken. (3) at most one instance of each consToken is activated to genToken (no splitting) (4) binary decision variable for genToken being packed 6 time power

Proposed Token Management System Formulated Problem ▫Packing Problem  NP-Complete ▫Not feasible to handle a large number of PHEVs Proposed ▫Heuristic algorithm  Token (1) batching, (2) prioritization, and (3) splitting ▫My Opinion: “Greedy algorithm based on Priority?”  Schedule based on set priority  If cannot be scheduled, split and schedule again 7

Cons-Token Batches - Based on start time and duration - MAX_BATCH_SIZE - Reduce computation load 8 Gen-Token Queue - Prioritization -MAX_GEN_ACTIVE - Ex) FIFO, round-robin on power source, expiration times, power levels Cons-Token Queue - FIFO Dispatcher - Packs CT in GT - Packing depend on the scheduling scheme Scheduling Scheme (active genToken) - endTime - freeEnergy - random - utilization

Dispatcher Functions consBatch Activation ▫Packing consumption batch (cb) to genToken ▫Conditions:  Power level (consBatch) < Power Level (genToken)  + constraint (2)  Activation period (consBatch) < validity period (genToken)  Otherwise, reject genToken Replacement ▫If  utility above a certain threshold  no. of rejected tokens above a certain threshold ▫Then  genToken replaced with a token with the highest priority 9

Dispatcher Functions Splitting of consBatch ▫Previously  consBatch cannot split  i.e., One consBatch fit into one genToken  Difficult to achieve utilization close to 1 ▫Now  consBatch can split  i.e., different parts of consBatch fit into multiple genTokens  First, schedule consBatch as a whole. If not possible, split and schedule smaller consBatches  Proposes three different schemes 10

Splitting of ConsBatch (Scheme 1) 1-D split on time axis ▫consBatch is split into two smaller batches on the time axis ▫½ duration and validity period ▫Same power level 11

Splitting of ConsBatch (Scheme 2) 1-D split on power axis ▫consBatch is split into two smaller batches on the power axis ▫½ power level ▫Same duration and validity period 12

Splitting of ConsBatch (Scheme 3) 13

Effect of Token Splitting Theorem Opt (2D split) at least better than Opt (1D power split) or Opt (1D time split) Above are at least better than Opt (no split) 14

Evaluation Setup ▫Vehicles  Number: 0 ~ 7 million ▫Power  Trace: Australian Power Grid supply (5 years)  10% available for PHEVs ▫Vehicle  Connectivity: following previous references  Capacity: kWh  Charging Speed: 25 kW (20-30 min charging) ▫Token  duration(genToken) = 8 h (no frequent on/off)  duration(consToken) = 24 min ▫consBatch Size =

Evaluation Effect of consToken duration ▫2% best / 100% worst ▫Smaller fragments give better utilization 16

Evaluation Effect of Splitting Algorithm Small consTokens (5%) Effect of Splitting Algorithm Large consTokens (30%) 17 improvement

Evaluation Other results ▫Scheduling  Small no. of PHEVs  Deadline based prioritization performs best  Large no. of PHEVs  Power level based prioritization performs best  Large number of consTokens  Contention between consTokens for packing  Larger power helps to pack better 18

Evaluation Other results ▫Validity Period  Longer consToken use duration increases utilization  More flexible start time (more slots) increases utilization 19
