Case study on distributed generation for electric vehicle and energy storage integration

This paper presents an integrated system of photovoltaic (PV), energy storage and a charging station for an electric vehicle (EV). The operation mode of the integrated system is controlled by an algorithm which is based on a new Brazilian tariff supported on different prices depending on the hour and the day of the week. It will also be presented a panorama of the distributed generation in Brazil, and the challenges faced during the project and construction of this system.
