Abstract: Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is a key to aggregate various distributed energy sources. With the vigorous rise of various distributed energy sources, the direct access of large-scale electric vehicle load will increase the complexity of VPP coordinated operation. Hence, this paper proposes a VPP optimization method for Electric Vehicle Virtual Energy Storage (EV-VES). Firstly, the travel characteristics of electric vehicles are analyzed, and EV-VES model is established to coordinate and manage the charge-discharge behavior of EV. Secondly, the “carbon charge rate” model of energy storage (ES) is introduced to establish the relationship between carbon emission and electricity price, and the VPP operation model considering the “carbon charge rate” of energy storage is established. Finally, the two-stage robust optimization operation model of VPP is constructed, Wasserstein distance is used to describe the confidence set of uncertain probability distribution of wind power generation and load, and the uncertainty of system source and load are described by the confidence set. The Column and Constraint Generation (C&CG) algorithm was used to determine the optimal operational benefit solution. The effectiveness of the proposed VPP optimal operation model was validated through case study.
