Fuzzy logic energy management for electric vehicles battery charging using renewable energy sources.

This paper presents an energy management strategy for a car park with charging stations for electric vehicles. The study focuses on the supervision strategy with a fuzzy logic controller. The power comes from renewable energy sources (wind turbine, photovoltaic panel) and main grid. The algorithm objective is to distribute the grid power and the renewable power according to the electrical load demand of the parking. The main goal of the design is to obtain maximum utilization of the renewable source energy. Simulation results show that the fuzzy logic is a suitable energy management control strategy. The use of renewable energy reduces the impact on the power grid caused by increasingly high number of electric vehicles deployed worldwide. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
