Description
Summary:This paper presents a real-time energy management scheme for electric vehicle (EV) charging using photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage, connected to the microgrid. The scheme is based on the heuristic rule-based strategies to optimize energy flow within microgrid. Preliminary results from the tests at Uligamu Island show that EV charging using proposed scheme is economical compared to charging from standalone generator. Using the PV as the main source for charging EVs, the burden on the microgrid is reduced significantly. It seems that this work is the first attempt to demonstrate the application of PV-EV charging from microgrid in remote island.
