A tool has been developed to integrate electric vehicles into a general systems for the energy management and optimization of energy from renewable sources in the Campus of the University of Salento. The tool is designed to monitor the status of plug-in vehicles and recharging station and manage the recharging on the basis of the prediction of power from the photovoltaic roofs and usage of electricity in three buildings used by the Department of engineering. The tool will allow the surplus of electricity from photovoltaic to be used for the recharge of the plug-in vehicles. In the present investigation, the benefits in terms of CO2 and costs of the scheduled recharge with respect to free recharge are evaluated on the basis of the preliminary data acquired in the first stage of the experimental campaign.

Abstract
A tool has been developed to integrate electric vehicles into a general systems for the energy management and optimization of energy from renewable sources in the Campus of the University of Salento. The tool is designed to monitor the status of plug-in vehicles and recharging station and manage the recharging on the basis of the prediction of power from the photovoltaic roofs and usage of electricity in three buildings used by the Department of engineering. The tool will allow the surplus of electricity from photovoltaic to be used for the recharge of the plug-in vehicles. In the present investigation, the benefits in terms of CO2 and costs of the scheduled recharge with respect to free recharge are evaluated on the basis of the preliminary data acquired in the first stage of the experimental campaign.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
