Abstract

Renewable energy sources and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are becoming very popular in research areas, as well as in the market. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how a solar powered building interacts with energy storage and how it can be used to power a PHEV and to support the grid with peak shaving, load shifting, and reducing annual energy usage. A net zero energy house (ZEH5) is selected as the base house for this experiment. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is developing simulation models and energy management scenarios using the actual solar production and residential energy usage data, and a PHEV. The system interaction with the grid is evaluated after getting all the data from PHEV charging, photovoltaic (PV) power production, and residential load.
