| Summary: | As a low-cost and high-efficiency distributed energy storage resource, electric vehicles (EVs) play an increasingly prominent role in power system regulation. Since EVs are the regulation resources on the demand side, EVs should return to the initial states as soon as possible after completing the grid regulation task to avoid affecting the charging demand. Although EVs can provide a more flexible response to under-frequency load shedding (UFLS) than load shedding, the disorderly recharging of EVs during the load restoration stage may cause a significant second disturbance to the system frequency after UFLS. To ensure frequency stability and simultaneously restore the power supply, a multi-stage sequential load restoration method for UFLS with EVs participation is proposed to coordinate the priority and sequential restoration between the shedding load and recharging power of EVs. In the proposed method, the restoration willingness of EVs is quantified by the membership function, and the EV recharging optimization model with the objective function of maximizing the user’s restoration willingness satisfaction is established based on a two-stage robust under-frequency load shedding framework. Simulation results show that the proposed method can ensure system frequency stability and complete the load restoration quickly, effectively avoiding the secondary frequency drop caused by the disorderly recharging of EVs.
