Demand management of electric vehicle charging based on a cloud computing framework

Abstract

Electric vehicles are going to be a significant load on the existing distribution system,which may lead to unexpected peak loads and rapid fluctuations of power grid. In order to keep the plug-in hybrid vehicles from causing harmful new peaks, a new method is presented for the management of Electric Vehicle(EV) charging along with other domestic load operations in a renewable energy integrated domestic infrastructure. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology was evaluated using simulated case studies. Th…
