Electrical Vehicles Charging Coordination by Fuzzy Logical System
Abstract
Today, with the rapid technological development, interest in electric vehicles is also increasing. This raises the question of what the effects of the vehicles on the electric power network will be. In this article, the adverse effects of charging scenarios of electric vehicles' batteries on the electric power network are examined and fuzzy logic based solutions are proposed to prevent or reduce the effects of charging electric vehicles during peak hours. In this article a fuzzy logic system that is providing the cheapest charging prices, also reducing the impact on the load curve of Turkey’s electrical network is provided.
