Impact analysis of vehicle-to-grid technology and charging strategies of electric vehicles on distribution networks – A review

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed review of a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, in conjunction with various charging strategies of electric vehicles (EVs), and analyzes their impacts on power distribution networks is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards an electricity-powered world

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the present scenario of electricity production and investigate whether an electricity powered world is possible, indicating which primary energy forms should be preferably utilized, indicating that most of the primary energy used by mankind, including that employed to generate electricity, comes from fossil fuels, which need to be phased out because they bring about severe damage to climate, environment, and human health.
