The inclusion of electric vehicle stations in microgrids can allow to exploit source controllability to obtain a safer network integration and hence sustain electric mobility diffusion. The integration of photovoltaic systems and electric storage in DC microgrid can easily enable vehicle-to-grid functionality. In this paper, performances of different DC microgrid configurations with electric vehicle stations are evaluated, by solving alternative optimal operation procedures, aiming at minimum operation cost and minimum power exchange on daily horizon, and deriving proper technical and economic indicators.

Abstract
The inclusion of electric vehicle stations in microgrids can allow to exploit source controllability to obtain a safer network integration and hence sustain electric mobility diffusion. The integration of photovoltaic systems and electric storage in DC microgrid can easily enable vehicle-to-grid functionality. In this paper, performances of different DC microgrid configurations with electric vehicle stations are evaluated, by solving alternative optimal operation procedures, aiming at minimum operation cost and minimum power exchange on daily horizon, and deriving proper technical and economic indicators. The methodology is applied to a realistic DC microgrid installation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
