Integration of Electric Vehicles with Smart Grid

The integration of electric vehiclesElectric vehicle (EVs) with the gridGrid has garnered significant attention due to its potential to revolutionize the transportation sector. With advancements in technology and increasing concerns about climate change, EVs have emerged as a viable alternative to internal combustion engineInternal Combusion Engine vehiclesVehicle. EVs offer numerous advantages, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved energyEnergy efficiencyEfficiency, and decreased dependency on fossil fuels. This chapter delves into various types of charging infrastructure, such as level 1, level 2, DC fast charging, and wireless powerPower charging, which further enhances the convenience and accessibility of EV charging. Additionally, the establishment of charging infrastructure can occur in a variety of locations, ranging from residential areas to public spaces and commercial buildings. Furthermore, the integration of EVs with the gridGrid has also paved the way for novel approaches in voltageVoltage regulation, such as the distributive model of predictive control, within vehicleVehicle-to-gridGrid (V2G) systems. Overall, the integration of EVs with the gridGrid not only facilitates the transition to a more sustainableSustainable transportation system but also unlocks opportunities for technological advancements and innovative solutions to address the challenges associated with EV adoption. This chapter reviews the use of distributed model predictive control (DMPC) for voltageVoltage regulation within V2G. All the reviews are from journals, e-books, or conference papers from 2000 to 2023.
