Abstract
In this chapter, the problem of managing the electric vehicle (EV) charging demand in power distribution grids is addressed. EV charging can significantly increase the residential net power consumption, and simultaneous charging in a distribution grid may cause technical issues, such as transformer overload, if it is not well managed. There are two main approaches to implementing real-time smart charging using smart meter data. The first one is to directly control the EV rate of charge based on the current consumption of the household and the desired consumption profile of the total residential grid. Another solution is to control the discharge rate of battery storage systems in the grid to compensate for the EV charging demand. In this chapter, the concept of real-time control of EV charging is reviewed and the performance of a model-based predictive controller in this context is assessed considering real-world data from smart meters of residential consumers in Victoria, Australia.
