With the growing penetration of the electric vehicles to our daily life owing to their economic and environmental benefits, there will be both opportunities and challenges to the utilities when adopting plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) to the distribution network. In this paper, a thorough analysis based on real-world project is conducted to evaluate the impacts of electric vehicles infrastructu...

The coming intersection between a growing electrified vehicle fleet and desired growth in renewable electricity generation presents an opportunity for synergistic value. Some types of renewable electricity generation are variable and intermittent and are rarely coincident with utility load patterns. Vehicles are typically parked 90% of the time, and the batteries are a significant capital inves...

This paper presents a framework for decentralized coordination of plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging patterns in scenarios where the future cannot be perfectly predicted. We begin with the mathematical formulation of the decentralized problem, in which individual PEVs minimize their own charging costs, which are a function of total system demand. We summarize results from our prior work in...

The penetration of plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) into nearfuture traffic and power infrastructure is expected to be large enough to have a serious impact on the grid. If each PEV arrives at home and charges immediately, the distribution network can incur in serious problems. Therefore, the charging process of the PEVs has to be coordinated, on the basis of the grid capabilities, generation an...

The plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) has attracted more and more attention because of the energy crisis and environmental pollution, which is also the main shiftable load of the residential users’ demand side management (DSM) system in the future smart grid (SG). In this paper, we employ game theory to provide an autonomous energy management system among residential users considering selling ener...

The present and future conditions in the energy market impose extremely high standards to operation of building systems. Moreover, distribution networks face new operational technical challenges as a result rapid penetration renewable sources (RES) other forms distributed generation. Consequently, active (ADNs) will play crucial role exploitation smart prosumers, grids, RES. In this paper, an o...

Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) are a rapidly developing technology that can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and our dependence on foreign oil. PEVs will also be an integral part of the future smart grid, due to two main features: First, PEV charging stations will most likely be available at home and at work, offering flexible charging options. Second, these vehicles will have the capa...

Abstract Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are a promising option for greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation in the transport sector - especially when fast decrease carbon emissions from electricity provision is considered. The rapid uptake of renewable generation worldwide implies an unprecedented change that affects content battery production as well charging and thus GHG potential PEV. However, most...

The increased presence of electric vehicle charging locations in a power system with high penetration intermittent wind potentially leads to operation complexities resulting abnormal impacts. This paper proposes an innovative framework for assessing the impact plug-in (PEV) on integrated farms, incorporating dynamic thermal limits (DTLs). comprises Monte Carlo simulation, which is embedded stoc...

A bi-directional power exchange between the plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) and AC electrical grid is necessary to perform Vehicle Grid (V2G) (G2V) operations. While performing these operations, different converters controllers play an important role as mediators PEV grid. Various works have demonstrated utilization of for PEV’s battery management. However, existing conventional technical shortc...
