The widespread use of photovoltaic
renewable energy sources (Solar PV) followed
by electric vehicles (EV) has gained a positive
impact on meeting CO2 emission reduction
targets. Proper control is needed to maintain the
stability of the national electricity network by
having a smooth load curve where the gap
between the peaks and valleys is lesser [1]. Real-
Time Pricing (RTP) is a strategy to smoothen the
load curve due to integration with intermittent
Solar PV and unscheduled charging of EV
batteries [2]. Day A-head RTP is chosen because
it offers dynamic hourly rates but has the tariff
reservation flexibility one day in advance [3]. In
this paper, energy modeling uses the integration
of Solar PV-HES as a microgrid which is also
connected to the electricity network. The tariff
modeling uses a comparison of three scenarios,
namely scenario 1: by charging the EV battery
from the thermal power plant, scenario 2: by
charging the EV battery from the thermal power
plant and New Renewable Energy (NRE) and
scenario 3: by charging the EV battery from NRE
consisting of Solar PV-HES. The case study uses
uncontrolled (UnC), time of use (ToU) and
vehicle to grid (V2G) EV daily load curves and
EV user residential weekly load curves. The
combination of simulation and calculation of
Index power to cost is used to obtain real-time
electricity rates [4]. Scheduling EV battery
charging is needed to maintain a stable load curve
and lower electricity bills without reducing
monthly bill [5]. Java Bali grid is the most
important power network in Indonesia, because
it holds 75% energy sales and the foundation of
the Indonesian government, business and
industrial sectors. Tariff prediction method used
for day a head is linear regression machine

learning [6]. Scenario 2 modeling result in
cheaper bills and a smoother load curve while
having Solar PV-HES integration. Charging
using V2G scheme offers the cheapest rates.
