Real time operation in electric vehicle smart charging stations: a matheuristic approach considering demand side management, energy storage and distributed generation

Abstract

The management of distributed energy resources has gained special attention in the field of research with the aim of exploiting the capacity of these resources to the maximum, where many expect from the correct management the solution to the problems of intermittence and increase participation of renewable energy sources. This work presents a management system for electric vehicles charging stations in the presence of distributed energy resources. In this context, uncertainties related to scheduled charges and the service of unscheduled charges are met by an algorithm that seeks to carry out the operation of the charging station in real time. Furthermore, the ability of the proposed management system to meet the demand response signaling imposed by the distribution system operator is evaluated.
