چکیده
EMERALD is a project funded by the European Commission under the FP7 program focusing on energy use optimization on the integration of the electric vehicles into the transport and energy infrastructure. Between the objectives of EMERALD, enhanced power demand prediction and power flow support management system uses the power flow demand simulation platform considered in this paper. The power flow demand simulation platform is a software tool that defines the estimation of electric vehicles power demand according to different conditions as, arrival and departure curves, the estimation of power production based on renewable energy sources and the electricity cost. The tool coordinates scheduling for charging of electric vehicles in order to minimize the recharging cost, considering the energy balance between the generation and demand power.
