N2 - The need to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels has promoted the introduction of new paradigms to improve overall power grid efficiency. Because of this, electrical vehicles are becoming more popular. Notwithstanding, their introduction means new challenges which must be addressed in order that future power grids can support their recharge. To this end, new power grid control mechanisms are being developed to avoid huge expenditures in extending the supply capacity of power grids. Amongst these, one of the most popular is known as "Demand Side Management". The challenge of studying prospective scenarios in which electrical vehicle charging is controlled by a Demand Side Management policy is addressed in this paper. This paper proposes an agent-based modelling approach to deal with this kind of study and presents two experiments in which its advantages are highlighted.
