Combining renewable energy and Vehicle to Grid sources for QoS in EAAS concept for smart grids systems

Presently energy consumption is increasing very fast due to many reasons. The worldwide population growth, the huge industrialization that the world is undergoing and the betterment of our well-being never cease to increase our daily energy needs. All these make energy one of the biggest challenges that the world knows today. The fact that we consider energy as a service has led us to an evolution of the classic electrical grid by turning everything in an intelligent way. This paper introduces a new energy management strategy based on the use of a smart vehicle as an energy source. In particular we focused on the use of fuel cell to offer a backup solution when renewable sources such as solar and wind cannot compensate all the energy needs of a household.
