Home energy management system : a home energy management system under different electricity pricing mechanisms
2014
Masteroppgave i fornybar energi ENE 500 Universitetet i Agder 2014 Peak demand is a severe problem in the electricity grid and it was solved by supply side management in the past. But nowadays the demand side management sources have drawn attention due to the economic and environmental constraints. Demand side management in the domestic sector can play an important role in reducing the peak demand on the power system network. It can help in reducing stress and overloading on the transmission and distribution lines. In many countries there are various demand response programs implemented for industrial and commercial loads. In these programs load control is primarily achieved by various type…
Smart Electric Vehicle Charging System : Controlling Multiple Electrical Vehicle Chargers using OCPP to Limit Electricity Demand
2017
Master's thesis Renewable Energy ENE500 - University of Agder 2017 Peak demand is a problem when Electrical Vehicle charging is introduced in the electricity grid. Local limitations like fuses and transformer capacity can rapidly be overloaded if multiple Electrical Vehicles are charging at the same time. This can be solved by shifting these loads in time. This master’s Thesis presents a solution by using the communication protocol OCPP to restrict one or more chargers below a set demand limit. The solution is developed in cooperation with Sharebox [1] and Grønn Kontakt [2], and is in prototype phase at the end of this Master’s Thesis. Testing demonstrates that the prototype can reduce the …
