Ict for Electric Vehicle Integration with the Smart Grid

In this book, the authors provide a basis for full integration of electric vehicles into the smart grid, through the extensive use of ICT tools. They look at transport and energy system modelling, simulation and optimisation processes; vehicle on-line optimal control, estimation and prediction; energy system strategic planning; and supporting services such as those related to smart charging. Providing case studies and examples throughout, the book includes coverage of smart homes and ancillary services, and considers the complete energy balance.
