Impacts and Utilization of Electric Vehicles Integration Into Power Systems

Abstract

Large scale of plug-in electric vehicles(PEVs) integration will pose inevitable impacts on the planning and operation of power system in the future.The literature reviews were carried out on PEVs integration on power system including PEVs charging load modeling,simulation and calculation,PEVs' impacts on power system,and control and utilization of PEVs charging and discharging.Firstly,key factors when analyzing the charging load were pointed out.Additionally,the impacts of PEVs integration on generation expansion,grid operation,charging facilities and distribution system planning were discussed.The current research on coordinated charging of PEVs and vehicle-to-grid(V2G) operation were reviewed as well.Finally,possible future research areas were presented.
