Sumario:This paper presents a robust optimization model to find out the day-ahead energy and reserve to be scheduled by an electric vehicle (EV) aggregator. Energy can be purchased from, and injected to, the distribution network, while upward and downward reserves can be also provided by the EV aggregator. Although it is an economically driven model, the focus of this work relies on the actual availability of the scheduled reserves in a future real-time. To this end, two main features stand out: on one hand, the uncertainty regarding the EV driven pattern is modeled through a robust approach and, on the other hand, a set of non-anticipativity constraints are included to prevent from unavailable future states. The proposed model is posed as a mixed-integer robust linear problem in which binary variables are used to consider the charging, discharging or idle status of the EV aggregator. Results over a 24-h case study show the capability of the proposed model.
