Intelligent Scheduling of V2G, V2V, G2V Operations in a Smart Microgrid

We consider the problem of efficient scheduling of vehicle-to-grid (V2G), grid-to-vehicle (G2V), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) operations in a smart microgrid equipped with renewable energy resources and multiple types of charging ports to cater the requirements of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and essential loads of households. Our objective is to schedule the operations such that the total price paid to the utility-grid for the electrical energy is minimum. We propose a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) based formulation to obtain an optimal schedule of those operations. We present a heuristic approach to find a reasonable solution quickly.
