Electric vehicles and smart grids: open problems and research directions
Summary:
This thesis aims to study electric vehicles and especially their connection to
the power grid.
The first chapter is an introduction to smart grids and an initial focus on
electric vehicles. Some of them can be connected to the network and develop a
two-way "relationship". They also act separately or arranged in groups in order
to be maximized the profit. Also shows the penetration of electric vehicles on
the market today. In the second chapter are described the ownership of the
batteries of electric vehicles, their charge and the supply of electricity.
Charging includes different ways of charging and payment and the cost of the
required energy. Moreover the communication between the vehicle and the network
is analyzed. In the third chapter the problem of the dimensioning of charging
stations is described on order to minimize the cost, resulting in an objective
function that is accompanied by restrictions. In the fourth chapter the problem
of dimensioning the exchange stations is analyzed in order to minimize the
cost, resulting in an objective function that is accompanied by restrictions.
In the fifth chapter the drawbacks of the widespread use of electric vehicles
are described.
The sixth chapter presents the conclusions drawn from this thesis related
primarily to the use of vehicles and the various strategies used.
