Smarter Charging: Modeling optimal EV charging in solar parking lots for reducing peak demand, considering uncertainty in solar power forecasting and EV energy demand

Smart charging offers the potential for electric vehicles to use renewable energy more efficiently, lowering costs and improving the stability of the electricity grid. Many computer models have been developed to simulate the behavior of smart charging. Yet these models often assume that future information is known perfectly, including when...

Local Alternative for Energy Supply: Performance Assessment of Integrated Community Energy Systems

Integrated community energy systems (ICESs) are emerging as a modern development to re-organize local energy systems allowing simultaneous integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) and engagement of local communities. Although local energy initiatives, such as ICESs are rapidly emerging due to community objectives, such as cost and...
