  4. Abstract:
  5. The growing utilization rate of electric vehicles (EVs) because of their advantages, like environmental pollutant reduction, may bring challenges to power systems for the reason of considerable charging load and random nature of their net load consumption. However, aggregation and coordination of EVs (especially EVs with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capability) offer new opportunities to grid operators by providing the possibility of charging/discharging cycle control of their batteries. On the other hand, energy storage systems (ESSs) are one of the most applicable distributed energy resources (DERs) with growing penetration level in the last decades. The optimal coordination and schedule of ESSs, along with other DERs, can accommodate the uncertain and intermittent renewable energy sources (RESs) in the network, as well as improve service reliability and power quality. Virtual power plant (VPP) aggregates the capacity of DERs around the network and effectively manages them to obtain single operating profile in order to improve its operation and increase profit by participating in electricity markets. Thus, VPP is able to aggregate and coordinate EVs and ESSs around the network and effectively schedule them in order to fulfill its objectives. In this regard, VPP not only addresses the upcoming challenges of DERs but also optimally utilizes them to improve network operation and increase its profit through participating in electricity markets. By considering these explanations, in this chapter detailed models of EVs and ESSs are presented and then the optimal operation strategy of VPP by considering EVs and ESSs is investigated. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
