Resilient PHEV charging policies under price information attacks

Enabling a bidirectional energy flow between power grids and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) using vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and grid-to-vehicle (G2V) communications is considered as one of the key components of the future smart grid. On the one hand, the PHEV owner needs to charge its PHEV thr...

description Enabling a bidirectional energy flow between power grids and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) using vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and grid-to-vehicle (G2V) communications is considered as one of the key components of the future smart grid. On the one hand, the PHEV owner needs to charge its PHEV through the grid, given possibly time-varying electricity pricing schemes.
