Abstract

A real time method to manage charge scheduling of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) is proposed in this paper. The proposed method is based on assigning scores and prioritized PEVs using a fuzzy expert system. Further, the PEVs are optimally charged to maximize the owners´ satisfaction, in terms of the delivered energy, without violating system operational constraints. The simulation on a typical distribution network is carried out, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
