Abstract
In case the electrification of transportation, i.e. electric vehicles (EV), occurs in an uncontrollable way, electric grids may come up with various potential problems, in terms of overloaded lines, increased losses, voltage quality issues, generation adequacy etc. There is a need for a middleware between EV and grid, on the top of which the different involved parties (DNO, ESCOs and aggregators) will be able to implement their EV control and management concept. Smart meters are the key technology that will enable the efficient adaptation of EV in the electric grids. However, the lack of common requirements on functionality and open interfaces fractionalize their massive implementation and increase their cost. This paper presents the high level requirements for future smart meters that will enable the efficient EV deployment.
