In this paper, a discrete event approach is proposed for the optimal charging of electrical vehicles in microgrids. In particular, the considered system is characterized by renewable energy sources (RES), non-renewable energy sources, electrical storage, a connection to the external grid and a charging station for electric vehicles (EVs). The decision variables are relevant to the schedule of production plants, storage systems and EVs' charging. The objective function to be minimized is related to the cost of purchasing energy from the external grid, the use of nonrenewable energy sources and tardiness of customer's service. The proposed approach is applied to a real case study and it is shown that it allows to considerably reduce the dimension of the problem (and thus the computational time required) as compared to a discrete-time approach.

Abstract
In this paper, a discrete event approach is proposed for the optimal charging of electrical vehicles in microgrids. In particular, the considered system is characterized by renewable energy sources (RES), non-renewable energy sources, electrical storage, a connection to the external grid and a charging station for electric vehicles (EVs). The decision variables are relevant to the schedule of production plants, storage systems and EVs' charging. The objective function to be minimized is related to the cost of purchasing energy from the external grid, the use of nonrenewable energy sources and tardiness of customer's service. The proposed approach is applied to a real case study and it is shown that it allows to considerably reduce the dimension of the problem (and thus the computational time required) as compared to a discrete-time approach.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
