• Resumen

  • Government and public institutions are fostering the use of electric vehicles (EVs) as a sustainable mode of transportation. The estimated fleet of EVs is forecast as 145 million for 2030. Thus, serving all the EVs will increase the electricity demand. This chapter reviews the main techniques to control the charge and discharging of EVs. It explains how aggregators can control a set of EVs in different homes to increase the potential ways to participate in services of the electrical market. The chapter reviews the types of charging stations. It then describes services that the EVs can provide to the grid and to the home energy management. The chapter also includes a review about the main strategies proposed for the control of a fleet of EVs, especially those applied for a domestic scenario. It explains two distributed dispatching algorithms for the charging and discharging operations of a set of EVs in a residential area.
