A Remote Control of Electric Vehicle Aggregator for Managing the Charging Power

Abstract:

Massive introduction of electric vehicles (EVs) present several benefits for the environment, but they create new challenges for electricity utilities, such as the management of the EV charging to avoid grid problems. Thus, several researchers propose the inclusion of the Electric Vehicle Aggregator in distribution and transmission systems. This paper discusses a Remote Control designed for the EV Aggregator end users. It is composed of an electronic device, which is installed in the different slow charging stations (residential or commercial), which enables to turn remotely on/off the charging or to modulate charging power rate. It is also composed of a visual interface, designed for EV Aggregator end users, which will interact with the different EV charging of an area depending on electricity market and load conditions.
