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 study describes a method for programming a plug-in electric vehicle agent that can be used in power system models and in embedded systems implemented in real plug-in electric vehicles. Implementing the software in real-life applications and in simulation tools enables research with a high...

This paper examines how plug-in electric vehicles can be managed to balance the fluctuation of renewable electricity sources. In this context, different control strategies are introduced. To investigate indirect control via electricity tariffs, an electricity market analysis is conducted of a...

Das Energiewirtschaftsgesetz der Bundesrepublik Deutschland schreibt Ener-gieversorgern vor, bis Ende 2010 lastabhängige und/oder zeitvariable Stromta-rife anzubieten. Bisher ist jedoch noch wenig über die Einschätzung dieser Ta-rifmodelle durch die Konsumenten bekannt. Jedoch nur wenn solche...
