Forecasting the PEV Owner Reaction to the Electricity Price Based on the Customer Acceptance Index

Concerns about the environment and green energy brings a huge development opportunity to plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs). PEVs have an outlook to enhance thefunctionalities of the power grid. Using PEVs, lets us feed power from the vehicle’s battery packs back to the grid or topull power from the grid to recharge the batteries. It means thatwe have a bidirectional flow of power between the vehicle andthe grid. PEVs improves the social welfare by reducing thecustomer costs. The most important point in using a vehicle to grid (V2G) is to evaluate the behavior of the plug-in hybridelectric vehicle (PEV) owners and estimate their acceptancefacing the demand side managements programs (DSM). In this paper, a mathematical model is presented for evaluating the reaction of PEV owners in response to electricity price. This method allows the utilities to have a short term scheduling in order to balance the available power and demand utilizing the PEVs.
