Assessment of Technical and Economic Impacts of EV User Behavior on EV Aggregator Smart Charging

[EN] The increase in global electricity consumption has made energy efficiency a priority for governments. Consequently, there has been a focus on the efficient integration of a massive penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) into energy markets. This study presents an assessment of various strategies for EV aggregators. In this analysis, the smart charging methodology proposed in a previous study is considered. The smart charging technique employs charging power rate modulation and considers user preferences. To adopt several strategies, this study simulates the effect of these actions in a case study of a distribution system from the city of Quito, Ecuador. Different actions are simulated, and the EV aggregator costs and technical conditions are evaluated.All the authors wish to thank Manuel Alcázar Ortega and José Francisco Carbonell Carretero from Universitat Politècnica de València for their contributions to this paper.
