Environmental Assessment of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles In the most comprehensive environmental assessment of electric transportation to date, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) are examining the greenhouse gas emissions and air quality impacts of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). The purpose of the program is to evaluate th...

As the penetration of photovoltaic (PV) systems on building rooftops increases, the accumulated effect of the rooftop PV power outputs on electric network operation is no longer negligible. Energy storage resources (ESRs) have been used to smooth PV power outputs, particularly when building load becomes low. In commercial buildings, the batteries of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) can be regar...

This study presents a comprehensive review of the potential technical impacts of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles on power distribution and transmission systems. This review also presents various power quality impacts on the power system in several aspects. This review conveys a detailed analysis of electric vehicle charging strategies on electrical distribution networks. The two charging aspec...

For the market share of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) to continue grow and reach 100% new vehicle sales, adopters technology, who initially buy PEVs, will need choosing them in subsequent purchases. Although much research has focused on reasons for, barriers to, initial PEV purchase, less been devoted for discontinuance—abandoning a technology after first purchasing it. Here, basis results f...

This paper presents a novel control system for the participation of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) in provisioning ancillary services frequency regulation, way that is transparent to driver and harmonized with smart charging service requirements. Given power-frequency droop curve, which specifies how set PEVs collectively participate regulation (we call this curve “global” curve), we propose ...

Both hydrogen and plug-in electric vehicles offer significant social and environmental benefits to enhance energy security and reduce criteria and greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. However, the rollout of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and hydrogen retail stations (HRS) requires substantial investments with high risks due to many uncertainties. We compare retail...
