Abstract
Growing environmental threats have brought to the fore the need to transition into clean and sustainable economies. Countless ground-breaking technological developments have been made in pursuit of discovering and integrating better energy sources such as electric vehicles for smart grids. This paper aims to study a proposed simulation environment representing a micro-grid containing a fleet of electric vehicles with a limited vehicle-to-grid application. In fact, the discharging mode is only applied in the case of peak demand with a very high response time. The building blocks of this micro-grid are outlined and modeled and a simulation of their operations is presented. The paper delves into the management strategies used to regulate the power in this simulation and investigates further the charging and discharging scenarios.
