Demand-side management of an isolated residential community with electric vehicle charging through the use of solar generation and battery storage

In this era of sustainable transportation, the proliferation of electric vehicles shows the right path for sustainable transportation. Considering household energy consumption patterns, managing the demand for electric vehicle charging in residential communities is a noteworthy challenge to reduce the potential strain on existing grids. Implementation of DSM is based on the behavioral changes of the customers is the way forward. It can be price-based, or it can be incentive-based programs. In price-based DR, electric tariff signals are analytics to schedule charging during off-peak hours. More with this, we apply load-shifting techniques like incentivizing delay charging and utilizing an energy storage system. This work examines a rule-based technique designed for a remote residential neighborhood that wants to combine solar energy production and battery storage with electric vehicle (EV) charging. The project aims to use renewable energy sources optimally and EV charging loads while maintaining grid stability. A thorough examination evaluates the suggested strategy's viability and efficiency in fulfilling the community's energy requirements while reducing dependence on conventional sources. A sustainable residential community might benefit greatly from such integrated systems, as evidenced by simulation findings showing notable gains in energy efficiency and load control.
