Abstract
The relevance of electric vehicles (EVs) is increasing along with the relative issues. The definition of smart policies for scheduling the EVs charging process represents one of the most important problems. A discrete-event approach is proposed for the optimal scheduling of EVs in microgrids. This choice is due to the necessity of limiting the number of the decision variables, which rapidly grows when a small-time discretization step is chosen. The considered optimization problem regards the charging of a series of vehicles in a microgrid characterized by renewable energy source, a storage element, the connection to the main grid, and a charging station. The objective function to be minimized results from the weighted sum of the cost for purchasing energy from the external grid, the weighted tardiness of the services provided, and a cost related to the occupancy of the socket. The approach is tested on a real case study.

The Role of Electromobility in the Energy-Related Smart Grids
Electric vehicles (EVs) are vehicles that use electricity for their propulsion, using batteries and electric motors. Electric vehicles can be pure electric vehicles, also known as battery electric vehicles (BEVs), which draw all their energy from the power grid or so-called vehicles plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) which also use an alternative energy source to assist electric powertrain.
