  7. Abstract:
  8. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) present environmental and energy security advantages versus conventional gasoline vehicles. In the near future, the number of PHEVs will likely grow significantly in the world. In spite of the aforementioned advantages, the connection of PHEVs to the power grid may create a series of new challenges for electric utilities. If PHEV penetration exceeds a certain amount it can endanger power system security. In this research, a new charging control scheme which includes both the customer and grid acquiescence is presented. Optimal charging algorithm is developed which minimizes the electrical charging payment of customers. The optimization problem in this thesis is solved by energy schedulers at each home. The inputs of the charging control problem are time-varying tariff and constraints declared by the PHEV owners. The output of the problem is the charging level for PHEVs in each period of the scheduling time. Because of the noticeable likeness between the load behavior and tariffs, minimizing customer cost would likely lead to peak load shaving and customer cost reduction. Vehicle to home (V2H) capability for vehicle is considered. The results show that V2H can lead to even more peak shaving for distribution grid and cost reduction in customer home. In this work, the V2H capability will be also used to help in online management of the customer outage and decreasing interruption cost which in the best of author’s knowledge has not been done in previous research works
