Summary

This thesis compares two different charging strategies of electric vehicles in order to reduce cost of energy in a microgrid interconnected to the electricity grid. The first strategy is about dumb, firm charging that takes place without any charging control while the second one is the smart strategy in which vehicles are connected to the grid with the aim of charging when the cost of energy consumption is lower. The case study is based on data from the Leaf Community of the Loccioni group in Italy for the year 2020 and refers to the charging of 100 electric vehicles with Time Of Use tariff. Homer Grid version 1.8.7 is used for the modeling and simulation process.
