A Distributed Transaction Method for Mitigating Three-phase Imbalance by Scheduling Electric Vehicle Charging

With the development of distributed trading mechanism, using Peer-to-Peer (P2P) to realize fair and developed transactions becomes a reality. P2P method is used to schedule the charging behavior of electric vehicles, which can not only achieve the function of peak clipping and valley filling, but also alleviate the influence of three-phase imbalance. This paper proposes an energy transaction model which consists of two parts. The first part is a new auction in which participants can look at historical data to see how competitive they are. The second part is the interaction between the charging station operator and the participants who are not matched in the first part. Case study shows the effectiveness of this distributed trading mechanism.
