Smart charging architecture for between a plug-in electrical vehicle (PEV) and a smart home

Abstract

In a smart grid, customers can not only use energy, but also produce it by using smart meters with battery energy storage systems in smart homes or buildings. The expected increased penetration rate of electrical vehicles, optimal control of charging algorithm will reduce energy consumption in smart grid. In this paper, we propose optimal charging architecture between a smart home and a plug-in electrical vehicle. This solution architecture is expected to optimize energy and power sharing between a plug-in electrical vehicle and a home with minimal costs with demand variability. It also reflects battery energy storage system's state of charge to make flat demand response schedule.
