Energy Optimization System based on storage potentials of distributed Electric Vehicles

Renewable generations are practical options to tackle the problem of cost and environmental damages of traditional energy production ways. Although green alternatives are cheap and clean, a precise consumption plan is mandatory to take the highest advantage of them. This paper proposes a novel optimization strategy where the produced energy of PV and grid is stored during valley hours on electric vehicles that are parked. Then, this saved energy is consumed when the grid is experiencing peak demands. This research uses consumption, PV generation, and parking data of Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Telecomunicación at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. The obtained results show that the electricity cost of the building will be reduced by following the proposed strategy. Moreover, EVs will take the advantage of the proposed strategy by means of receiving free charge.
