Abstract

In the forthcoming years, a significant deployment of Electric Vehicle (EV) technologies, plug-in hybrid and pure battery EVs, is expected. Uncontrolled charging can affect significantly the normal operation of the power system and result in premature grid reinforcements. Dual-tariff scheme can be effective provided that EV uptake is not high. This paper presents an enhanced dual-tariff distributed EV management approach for handling large EV fleets. The proposed management scheme allocates efficiently the EV charging demand during the low energy price period achieving a “valley filling” affect.
