Abstract
Deployment of electric vehicles (EVs) has been accelerated in many countries. However, for further deployment of EVs and their contribution to electrical power systems, various new services need to be implemented related to EVs and their charging, called “Place of Use” (PoU) services. The combined menu of the charging services has been proposed which bundles EV charging fees with home electricity bills. Settlement will be needed for such combined menu. This paper proposes the combined menu of EV charging with settlement of electricity. Technical feasibility of the settlement has been tested by EV charging testbed with the IoT-HUB technology. IoT-HUB is the virtual infrastructure which interconnects various connected devices and application by using “drivers” for each device. This paper also proposes a forecast method of EV charging demand for the settlement after the charging starts. The proposed method has reduced the forecast error of total charged energy compared to the simple method, but some of the forecast error has remained because of the variability of the charging time at the final step of state of charge.
