A Matlab Simulink model for the study of smart grid — Grid-integrated vehicles interactions

Abstract

The market of electrical vehicles is in continuous expansion. When the number of the full electrical or hybrid vehicles will be significant, they could represent an interesting further resource of electrical storage in an intermittent renewable power sources scenario. The focus of this paper is to describe a MATLAB Simulink model well suited for the analysis of the behavior of a car park of electric vehicles used as energy storage in a smart grid environment.
