A method for managing the operation of an AC power distribution network to which connect a plurality of electric vehicles, at random times and at random locations to receive electrical energy for charging. The AC power distribution network is characterized by a dynamic state of balance between power generation and load, and it has an operating reserve which is a supplemental power generation capacity available to the AC power distribution network. The method includes the step of forecasting a power-supply contribution that would be available to the AC power distribution network from the electric vehicles connected to the AC power distribution network in the event the AC power distribution network experiences a state of imbalance resulting from a power-generation deficit. The method further includes adjusting the magnitude of the operating reserve on the basis of the forecasting.

Method and apparatus for controlling the power supply from an electric vehicle to a dwelling or to an AC power distribution network

A power control device for regulating the power that a load consumes on the basis of the AC supply frequency. The system includes decision logic that responds to a frequency deviation to implement a power regulation strategy. The power regulation strategy includes a power compensation phase during which the electrical power that the load consumes is adjusted (reduced or increased) to balance the load on the grid. The power regulation strategy also includes a power restoration phase during which the power to the load is restored (either increased or decreased). The rate at which the power is adjusted during the power compensation phase is higher than the rate at which the power is restored during the power restoration phase.
