Said method aims for the charge/discharge scheduling of electric vehicles, and establishes, based on a distributed renewable energy-storage-EVs charge/discharge power system, a V2G two-stage nonlinear stochastic programming model combining the V2G scheduling randomness with the renewable energy power generation randomness. Said model is converted into a mixed integer linear programming model (MILP) by means of constraint linearization. Furthermore, in order to enable random scenarios to cover uncertainty factors comprehensively, a scenario generation and combination method is designed to combine the V2G scheduling resources with the randomness of the renewable energy level.
