Abstract

This study presents a novel approach for optimizing the scheduling of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) integrated with distributed generation systems. As PHEVs gain importance in the transition to sustainable transportation, effective energy management strategies are critical for maximizing their benefits. This research introduces an optimization model that considers various vehicle trip profiles, including daily commuting, long-distance travel, and variable trip frequencies. The model integrates distributed generation sources such as solar and wind energy to enhance charging efficiency and minimize operational costs. The performance of the proposed scheduling strategy was evaluated across different trip scenarios, focusing on key metrics such as energy utilization, cost savings, and emissions reduction using simulations. Results indicate that tailoring PHEV scheduling to specific trip profiles significantly enhances overall system efficiency, particularly when combined with renewable energy sources. This study contributes to the advancement of smart grid applications and highlights the importance of dynamic scheduling in fostering the adoption of PHEVs within sustainable energy systems.
