Cooperative Recharge Method of Connected Electric Vehicles in Smart Grid

Knowledge sharing between Electric Vehicles and Smart Grid is a source for improved load management and control. Recharge stations using event-driven communication share the information about recharge processes going to occur, while optimization agent(s) might prepare the optimal energy use policies. In this paper, authors showcase one approach for better integrating electric vehicles into smart grid. A photovoltaic power production is considered, in order to take into account the variability of power availability. The use of event-driven approach highlights faster reaction to the changes occurring inside the electric grid.
