Emerging Technologies for the Integration of Renewable Energy, Energy Storage and Electric Vehicles

Renewable energyRenewable energy playsEnergy storage an important roleElectric vehicle in powerPower generation, and its penetration level is growing rapidly. The evolution of distribution systemsDistribution system towards a smarter system allows the use of distributed energy resourcesDistributed energy resources (DERs). Electric vehiclesElectric vehicle (EVs) are gaining popularity as they are beneficial from an ecological/sustainability point of view for transportation. This chapter discusses the need and status of electric vehiclesElectric vehicle (EVs) around the world. This chapter also presents the modeling issues of renewable energy sourcesRenewable energy sources (RESs), energy storageEnergy storage, and EVs. The unpredictable powerPower generation from RESs could expose adverse effects on the optimalOptimal operationOperation of power systemsPower systems. Therefore, the work presented in this chapter considers the temporal and spatial variationsVariation linked with RESs and load demandLoad demand. The techno-economic aspects of RESs, battery storageBattery storage, and EVs are also presented. This chapter could find suitable solutions to increase the interoperability of the gridGrid under high penetration of renewable energyRenewable energy, storage systems, and electric transport.
