This study focuses on the utilization of EVs and their used batteries to support the building energy management system (BEMS). The main objective of this utilization is to perform a load leveling in which the peak load demand is shifted to the off-peak hours. Both theoretical and experimental studies were conducted to measure the feasibility of this utilization. Experimental test bed has been developed consisting of five EVs, five used EV batteries, and a PV panel. Load leveling is planned by BEMS in 24 hours priorly. EV availability including its position and battery condition is provided by vehicle information system. The developed system proved that utilization of EVs and their used batteries are feasible, hence, can be applied to support BEMS.
