Abstract

This research work is related to the Electric Vehicle (EV) integration in the electricity market, using the OpenADR open protocol for demand response. The proposed solution integrates a local developed EV charging system and a cloud management system, to coordinate the available energy produced from renewable energy sources, taking into account its intermittent production and the requirements of the EV charging process at home. Considering the smart mobility paradigm, all transactions processes are available at mobile devices in real-time, where users can define their usual behavior, configure the energy consumption profile at home, establish new profiles for specific days according to the EV charging process, and consult the historical transactions.
