Electric vehicles connection to microgrid effects on peak demand with and without demand response

Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs) are early future transportation facilities, so it is important to study their impacts on grids. In this paper, EVs impact on peak demand is investigated by stochastic approach and its effects is studied both with and without considering the demand response. In addition, the same study has been performed for linear and nonlinear charge characteristics effects. Results show notable peak demand increment while connecting EVs without demand response consideration, in addition, demand response activities by vehicle to grid connection have a great impact on peak shaving.
