The CEA is established in nine centers spread throughout France. The CEA has installed large-scale electric vehicle charging infrastructures (EVCI) in its main research centers. The EVCI of Cadarache, near Aix-En-Provence, is constituted of more than 80 22kW-charging points spread over 30 zones. This EVCI was set up in 2016 and currently supplies more than 200 vehicles including taxis, service vehicles as well as employees' vehicles. This infrastructure constitutes one of the largest private EVCI in the region. As part of a R&D project, the CEA will synchronize the consumption of a fraction of the EVCI of Cadarache (about 20 charging point spread over 5 zones) with the production of the Mégasol solar photovoltaic plant located near the research center. This lecture will present the method that it applied to carry out these experiments and will describe the main results.
