Electric Vehicle-to-Home Concept Including Home Energy Management

International audienceIn near future, Electric Vehicles (EVs) will replace conventional vehicles which provides both challenges and opportunities and this represents an important research area. Although EV increases the grid loading, it can also serve as the potential storage to facilitate the demand response. In this paper, a new energy control strategy has to be developed to consider the home-to-vehicle (H2V) and vehicle-to-home (V2H) capabilities including home energy management (HEM). The proposed algorithm is developed load management in residential sector which can automatically shift the operational time of the non-critical power intensive loads from peak demand periods to off-peak periods, while assuring the consumer comfort levels. The considered residential power intensive loads are air conditioner (AC), water heater (WH), clothes dryer (CD), and electric vehicle (EV). The main objectives of this work are to minimize the total cost and minimize the peak load considering a coordinated/uncoordinated charging for H2V and discharging for V2H. Simulation results show our proposed scheme can not only minimize the cost but also minimize the peak load and maximize the load factor of household daily load
