Abstract (EN): It is foreseeable that electricity retailers for electrical mobility will be market agents. These retailers are electric vehicle (EV) aggregation agents, which operate as a commercial middleman between electricity market and EV owners. Furthermore, with the foreseen evolution of the smart-grid concept, these agents will be able to control the EV charging rates and offer several ancillary services. This paper formulates an optimization problem for the EV aggregation agent participation in the day-ahead and secondary reserve market sessions. Forecasting issues are also discussed. The methodology was tested for two years (2009 and 2010) of the Iberian market, considering perfect and naïve forecast for all variables of the problem. © 2011 IEEE.
