The paper addresses the challenges of managing electric vehicle (EV) charging within modern power systems that rely on a single-time-of-use electricity pricing model. It proposes a novel approach that combines time-of-use pricing with the flexible energy storage capabilities of EVs to optimize charging and discharging plans. The strategy aims to reduce fluctuations in microgrid load and enhance grid stability while also considering carbon pricing.
