A residential PHEV load coordination mechanism with renewable sources in smart grids (2014)
Journal Article
Fan. (2014). A residential PHEV load coordination mechanism with renewable sources in smart grids. International Journal of Electrical Power and Energy Systems, 511 -521. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijepes.2013.10.002

A high penetration of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) can lead to stress and overload in distribution systems when uncoordinated charging is considered. Thus, coordination mechanisms to manage PHEV charging during peak periods are needed. Th... Read More about A residential PHEV load coordination mechanism with renewable sources in smart grids.
