Abstract: | The introduction of mobile Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) to the grid creates some interoperability challenges around exchanging price, Demand Response (DR), and settlement information. The impact of PEVs on the grid is expected to be significant, and the ability to control the charging profiles through price or direct control, the possibility of allowing customers to sell PEV electricity back into the grid, and complexity of providing fair settlement to everyone in the value chain when vehicles charge away from their home base, requires common object models to manage all these aspects of mobile bi-directional charging devices.
