Sumario:"The high emissions of greenhouse gases and the impact generated on the environment by human behavior during the last few years has led many governments to decide to promote the use of electric cars for passenger transport, as well as the replacement of conventional energy sources by renewable ones. These radical changes have a high impact on the installed energy infrastructure, especially if electric vehicles are charged in an uncontrolled mode because this could generate peaks of consumption saturating the electricity grid, as they require a high-power load. However, if the same vehicles could be charged in a controlled manner this would bring several advantages, such as shifting load to times when there is less consumption thus decreasing the power required during consuming peaks, or charging them during times when the price of electricity is low, thus generating savings in energy costs. In this master's thesis, a model was developed to find a schedule for charging electric vehicles that reduce these costs, later analyzing the economic benefits that this entails."
