Abstract :
This paper presents and discusses the electromobility management system developed in the context of the "SMARTV2G" project, enabling the automatic control of plug-in electric vehicles\´ (PEVs\´) charging processes. The paper describes the architecture and the software/hardware components of the electromobility management system. The focus is put in particular on the implementation of a centralized demand side management control algorithm, which allows remote real time control of the charging stations in the field, according to preferences and constraints expressed by all the actors involved (in particular the distribution system operator and the PEV users). The results of the field tests are reported and discussed, highlighting critical issues raised from the field experience.
