For a household microgrid with renewable photovoltaic (PV) panel and plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), a home energy management system (HEMS) using model predictive control (MPC) is designed to achieve optimal PEV charging and energy flow scheduling. Soft electric loads and an energy storage system (ESS) are also considered in the optimization of PEV charging in the MPC framework. The MPC is solved through a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) by considering the relationship of energy flows in the optimization problem. Through the simulation results, the performance of optimization results under various electricity price plans is evaluated. The influences of PV capacities on the optimization results of electricity cost are also discussed.
