Abstract

Electric vehicles (EV) connected to a charging station in a microgrid system is a potential power source for participation in energy management (EM). However, an autonomous controller scheme is required to schedule the charging and discharging of the EV battery for optimal EM. This paper proposes an intelligent EM controller for a workplace with EV integration. A Multi-Agent System (MAS) based coordinated optimization scheme is developed for EM. The optimal charging and discharging schedule is obtained by forecasting the trip pattern of EV based on regression by discretization methodology. Furthermore, the optimization scheme is designed considering monetary benefits to the workplace and the EV owner. The controller scheme is developed using Java Agent Development framework (JADE). The proposed EM scheme is tested with real-world data and the results are verified.
