Abstract :
We evaluate the impact of limitations that may exist in actual implementations of plugin electrical vehicle chargers (e.g. no controllable charging current) on smart charging algorithms. We use quadratic programming to control and coordinate the charging of multiple vehicles in order to reduce the peak load and load profile variability observed by a distribution grid transformer. Simulation results are presented for a section of a residential distribution grid comprising 150 households.
