Energy Management in a Prosumer Installation Using Hybrid Systems Combining EV and Stationary Storages and Renewable Power Sources

Modern consumer installations can be equipped with renewable power sources (RESs) and stationary energy storage systems (ESSs). In addition, electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to become part of such installations in the not-too-distant future. The paper presents the control strategy that allows for efficient energy management and the option of EV "fast-home" charging. The novelty of this approach includes the use of the "time-dependent energy storage" (EV battery) together with ESS and PV sources with the focus on prosumer benefits. All goals can be achieved without the need for extensive expenses in the home electric infrastructure. To enable the synergy effect, it was necessary to develop a controller algorithm that uses the operating status of the prosumer infrastructure (current power generation and consumption), the state of charge of both the stationary storage and the EV battery, and the possibility to control the EV drive inverter during the parking state. The paper presents a developed simulator built in the PSCAD environment and the simulation results.
