Figure (Peak Load Management)
showcases grid-connected setup where
the Load Management System (LMS)
coordinates with the and smart meters to
shift energy use and mitigate peak demand.
- Sub-meter tracks energy uses separately to
support energy accounting and control logic.
- Surplus renewable energy not used locally can be
exported the grid through Export path.
- usage maximized, curtailment reduced,
and grid dependence minimized.
- EVSE enables bidirectional energy flow between
EV and household/local loads.g.
charging and household loads, with the
capability export excess energy. IEEE. "Electric Vehicles Smart Appliances for Residential
Energy Management.
Figure (Islanded Operation) presents a
grid-independent configuration where local
generation and storage fully support the
home and EV, enabling resilient energy
supply during outages.
- Smart meter provides local energy logging and
system awareness but not grid billing.
