Sumario:[EN] Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are gaining market shares due to their ability to employ clean energy, their smooth operation and reduced noise, pollutant emissions and maintenance. Batteries are one of the key technologies in BEV since they strongly affect the vehicle cost and driving range, two of the major concerns of BEV costumers. While the energy storing capabilities of BEVs usually exceed commuting requirements, batteries can be also utilized for home energy management system using bi-directional charging technology. This paper introduces an efficient energy management system for a smart home with BEVs and a bidirectional charger by addressing the corresponding optimal control problem of deciding the battery charging and discharging strategy to minimize energy expenditure and cost. To this aim, the electricity price and expenditure of upcoming weeks is forecasted using data from the present week, and a model of the complete system is used to find the optimal solutions by means of backward induction in a receding horizon approach. The proposed strategy relies on currently available information about the home and vehicle energy expenditure and energy prices in the recent past. The results of the study show a reduction of the electricity cost above 20% in the considered use-case.
