Abstract

The deployment of electric vehicle (EV) for transportation has received a massive intention due to its economic, environmental performance, and convenience. In addition, the controllable charging and discharging of EV lead to the potential of EV utilization to provide services to the electrical grid or energy management system (EMS). In this study, an integration of EV to support a small-scale EMS has been demonstrated and studied. This report covers the investigation of charging and discharging behavior of EV and the demonstration test of the developed integrated EV to small-scale EMS. Initially, charging behavior of EV under different ambient temperatures (seasons) were evaluated in order to clarify the impact of surrounding temperature to the charging rate. From the experimental test, it was found that charging in higher ambient temperature (during summer) results in a higher rate than charging in lower ambient temperature (during winter). Furthermore, the integration of EVs to small-scale EMS (such as office building) for peak-load shifting showed a very positive effect. Discharging of EVs during noon’s peak load is able to cut and shift the peak load. Hence, high contracted capacity and large consumption of electricity with high price can be reduced leading to lower total electricity cost.
