Abstract
This paper presents the advances of the EPV (Electrically Powered Vehicle) Project, which searches the analysis and design of specifications of a new energy efficient urban transport system. In these days where Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) play a key role in our society and the environmental concern is increasing, opportunities of linking both issues are arising, which will help to make a profitable use of clean, renewable energy resources. The technological goal of the EPV Project is to obtain a complete development of the hardware and software to optimize infrastructures and to develop new communication architectures. In this way, the concept of electric vehicle as a smart load in the intelligent network is analyzed to develop a complete communication system including the different agents involved at the recharge process. In the other hand, the project is aimed to identify the possible integration of renewable energies in the electric vehicle charge, modeling and analysis of the distribution network for electric vehicles penetration.
