Optimal Valley-Filling Algorithm for Electric Two-wheeler Charging Stations

In Vietnam, comprehensive measures are required to accommodate and encourage the potential development of electric two -wheelers in urban traffic and the rooftop solar power potential. In the case of PV -integrated electric two -wheeler charging stations, numerous vehicles charging simultaneously may trigger very high peak loads which adversely impacts other loads and the distribution grid. In this study, an optimal valley -filling algorithm for electric two -wheeler charging stations is proposed. The proposed algorithm can update the variation of available vehicles as well as the dynamic changes in the energy level of individual E2Ws at each time slot. The simulation results proved that the proposed method can effectively perform valley filling, significantly improving the total load profile compared to uncontrolled charging and average charging schemes.
