Energy Management in Homes and Residential Microgrids - Chapter 3:Integration of electric vehicles and charging stations

This chapter discusses the impacts of electric vehicles on energy management in homes and residential microgrids. Three different models of electric vehicle integration including parking station, charging station, and battery swapping station are presented. The first case study addresses energy management in the residential building with the integration of electric vehicle parking station, where the electric vehicles remain inside the station for several hours. The second case presents the residential microgrid with a charging station, where the electric vehicles are fully charged in a short time-interval. The last case study presents the residential microgrid with a battery swapping station, where the depleted batteries of arrived vehicles are replaced with fully charged batteries. The energy management system aims to minimize the daily energy cost by optimal scheduling of resources, electric vehicles, and loads. The fixed, interruptible, shiftable, and curtailable loads are included. Various points like outage of elements, discharge capability, and stochastic operation are presented, modeled, simulated, and discussed.
