Abstract

A VICINITY platform-based load scheduling method by considering the smart parking and household smart appliances for renewable energy resources integrated residential microgrids is proposed in this paper. The proposed method can shift the local loads and publish the vacant number of parking slot with a real-time electric vehicle charging price to VICINITY platform according to the renewable energy generation and the usage of the parking spaces to reduce energy cost and increase resident's revenue. The experimental platform-based real-life cross domain lab testing verifies the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.
