A Bibliometric Analysis on ‘Role of Electric Vehicles in the Smart Grids’

As the Green House Gas (GHG) emission is the buzz word nowadays. Electric vehicles play an important role to reduce GHG emissions. By the deployment of electric vehicles, we are moving forward towards the net zero emission. To meet the sustainable development goals SDG, electric vehicles are need of the hour. As the sale of electric vehicles increases in last 5 years. Even during COVID-19, customers prefer to buy electric vehicles on subsidies as provided by respective governments. As the enhancement of plug-in electric vehicles, various challenges and opportunities are faced by power grid. To overcome these challenges and adopting the opportunities, smart grid plays an important role. Electric vehicles can used in number of ways like peak shaving, load shedding and “valley filling” by use of “V2G” “vehicle-to-grid” technology in addition with smart grid. The paper tells about the bibliometric analysis of “role of electric vehicles in the smart grid” has been presented. The objective behind this paper is to assess various research patterns in the field of smart grid and electric vehicles. Based on Scopus database the study focused on analysis of co-authorship between various authors and countries. The analysis of co-occurrences of keywords related to the title has been analysed. A total of 612 articles related to ‘Role of Electric Vehicles in smart grid’ published by different journals from 2010 to 2022.
