Abstract: Due to the incomplete competition and information on the behavior of electric vehicles,as well as the nonlinearity and uncertainty of power systems,the modeling and solving of real-time pricing problems are highly complex. Existing solutions typically model this as a constrained optimization problem,assuming that the utility function,which is a quantitative representation of the electricity network's economic benefits,is known to the network operators.This overlooks the incomplete information prevalent in actual scenarios.To overcome this limitation,this paper proposes an innovative real-time pricing mechanism for the vehicle-to-grid problem based on a bi-level optimization approach under the condition of unknown utility function parameters.Meanwhile,it considers the power flow equation to reflect the distributed grid's real-time load.This mechanism more accurately reflects the market's real dynamics.In this bi-level model,the upper level represents the optimization problem of the market operators,aiming to maximize their own welfare and minimize the load of the distributed grid.In contrast,the lower level represents the optimization problem of electric vehicles,aiming to maximize their profits or minimize their cost.Through comparative experiment simulations with the fixed pricing and peak-valley pricing methods,the experimental simulation data demonstrates the effectiveness of improving the profit of the grid and vehicles.At the same time,the load of the power grid is reduced.
