In this paper, we propose a distributed recharging rate control algorithm which combines the objectives of regulating frequency and improving the utilization of electric generators. An incentive policy is created that encourages electric vehicles (EVs) to demand energy when non-EV demand is low and electric generators are underutilized. EVs also act as frequency regulators which can control their participation role by modifying their respective payment rate. The proposed distributed recharging rate control algorithm can realize a Demand Management solution for EVs and does not require explicit real time communication from the electric generators or between the recharging sockets. A mechanism is presented that can trade off an ideal incentive policy with its approximation and enable the integration of the proposed controller with legacy protection system. Simulation is used to assess the algorithm and to highlight its embedded characteristics.
