Description

Reference

Uncoordinated charging

Grids and EVs

EVs consume power from the utility without any coordination

Scenario 1

Day-ahead planned charging

Grid, CPL rooftop PV, wind, and EVs

Tariff- and demand-aware day-ahead planning for optimal power consumption from the utility

Scenario 2

Building prosumer-based charging

Grid, CPL, and building rooftop PV, wind, loads, and EVs

Day-ahead planning combined with real-time management of rooftop PV generation in buildings

Scenario 3 (proposed)

Priority-based charging with building backup units

Grid, CPL, and building rooftop PV, wind, loads, BBUs, and EVs

Three-stage proposed energy management system
