A simulation study of electric vehicle charging in microgrids

Abstract

PHEVs/PEVs have received increasing attention because of their low pollution emissions, low energy dependence, and high fuel economy. In the near future, most PHEV/PEV enabled parking decks are expected to be powered by small-scale and onsite distributed energy resources. This paper interfaces Microgrid components with the simulated PHEV/PEV parking station and evaluates the high penetration of PHEV/PEVs to the Microgrid.
