A Framework on Spatiotemporal Shifting of Solar Energy Based on EV Aggregator

36th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1877-1880
Solar energy is promising renewable energy source for sustainable society. It is important to fill in the temporal and spatial gaps to utilize the solar energy effectively. This paper proposes novel framework to realize spatiotemporal shifting of solar energy using EVs. Since EV is equipped with very large battery for long cruise distance, EV can be realize as energy carrier along with carrying people and luggage. Proposed framework indirectly controls the EV's battery charge/discharge based on power trade via EV aggregator, and the spatiotemporal shifting of solar energy is realized in the end. Experimental results show the effectiveness of proposed framework.
