Plug-in vehicles powered by renewable energies are a viable way to reduce local and total emissions and could also support a highly efficient grid operation. Indirect control by variable tariffs is one option to link charging or even discharging time with the grid load and the renewable energy...

This work investigates the potential application of EV load flexibility with respect to different coordination objectives. They include individual cost or conventional generator use minimization, given volatile supply from renewable sources. The evaluation shows that charging coordination can...

Provision of charging stations is requisite infrastructure supporting the adoption of electric vehicles in any city and country. To avoid duplications and wastage of resources, only one charging station is available at each parking lot, which meant that only one provider is assigned for each...
