This study presents an innovative simulation-based optimization tool to select the minimum cost mix of building technologies, in a typical existing household with at least one vehicle, under different energy market scenarios. The proposed approach considers in its solution scheme the integration of building performance improvements, local renewable energy generation, and possible Electric Vehic...

The transportation industry now accounts for approximately a quarter of worldwide energy-related direct CO2 emissions, and governments all around the globe have committed to converting their fossil-fuel vehicles zero-emission ones by adopting electric vehicles. Current (EV) can store 18 100 kWh energy, which may be employed not only commuting but also other purposes such as delivering energy ho...

<span lang="EN-US">The emerging vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology has gained a lot of praise in the last few years, following its experimental validation several countries. As result, this is being investigated for standalone houses under name vehicle-to-house (V2H). This latter proposes two-way power transfer between electric vehicles and isolated relying on renewable sources supply. In p...

Black start is one of the most important ancillary services that should be required by National Grid in UK which traditionally has been provided large power stations. However, current shift towards greener technologies have opened door to non-traditional technologies. In this study, we explored electric vehicles (EVs) and minimum state charge (SOC) can held a fleet EVs during week could potenti...

The need to reduce pollution and the shortage of fossil fuels has led increased development hybrid full electric vehicles. There is also an use renewable energy resources such as photovoltaic, wind, tidal, etc. These two trends pose serious challenges existing grids: a lack supply power when demand high, deficient management excess power, number off grid faults, instabilities others. One way in...

The growing interest in Electrical Vehicles (EVs) opens new possibilities the use of Li-ion batteries order to provide ancillary grid services while they are plugged recharging stations. Indeed, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), Vehicle-to-Building (V2B), Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) as well Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) can be carried out depending on particular installation and connection distribution considered st...
