Benefits of Demand Response with Electric Vehicles in Smart Grid: A Case Study of Pattaya City, Thailand

In this work, a new application, i.e., HiVE Enerkey, is explained: a smart artificial intelligence system and type of home energy management to control the appliances. Here, two controllable loads are applied, a shiftable load, such as electric vehicles (EVs) and thermostat loads, such as air conditioners (AC), with two different DRPs, critical peak pricing and emergency demand response programs. The Danish distribution grid is selected as the case study. The impact of EV penetration is analyzed first. Then, the benefits for customers and utility are presented. The benefits show in terms of financial and non-financial for customers and utility. The load flow analysis and simulation modeling are carried out by MATLAB software.
