Smart grids are advancing the management efficiency and security of power grids with the integration of energy storage, distributed controllers, and advanced meters. In particular, with the increasing prevalence of residential automation devices and distributed renewable energy generation, residential energy management is now drawing more attention. Meanwhile, the increasing adoption of electric vehicle (EV) brings more challenges and opportunities for smart residential energy management. This project analyzes the impact of photovoltaic (PV) systems on storage and electric vehicles in micro-grids. As these kinds of systems are becoming increasingly popular in the residential sector, the development of a new generation of equipment, such as more efficient batteries or solar panels, makes further study necessary. These systems are especially interesting in commercial or office buildings, since they have a more repetitive daily pattern of electricity consumption, which usually occurs within the maximum solar radiation hours. This project proposes an electric scooter with grid-to vehicle/ vehicle-to-home (V2H)/vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and energy harvesting functions.
