Item Coordination of the charging of electric vehicles using a multi-agent system(2013-12) Papadopoulos, Panagiotis; Jenkins, Nick; Cipcigan, Liana M.; Grau, Inaki; Zabala, Eduardo; Tecnalia Research & InnovationAn agent-based control system that coordinates the battery charging of electric vehicles in distribution networks is presented. The objective of the control system is to charge the electric vehicles at times of low electricity prices within distribution network technical constraints. Search techniques and neural networks are used for the decision making of the agents. The ability of the control system to work successfully when the distribution network is operated within its loading limits and when the loading limits are violated is demonstrated through experimental validation.Item Management of electric vehicle battery charging in distribution networks with multi-agent systems(2014-05) Grau Unda, Iñaki; Papadopoulos, Panagiotis; Skarvelis-Kazakos, Spyros; Cipcigan, Liana M.; Jenkins, Nick; Zabala, Eduardo; Tecnalia Research & InnovationAn agent-based control system that manages the battery charging of electric vehicles in power distribution networks is presented. The electric vehicle battery charging schedules are calculated according to electricity prices and distribution network technical constraints. The design of the multi-agent system is described. The real-time operation of the multi-agent system was demonstrated in a test-bed of a laboratory micro-grid.
