Electric vehicles and the electric grid: A review of modeling approaches, Impacts, and renewable energy integration
TLDR
A review of the current literature on EVs, the electric grid, and renewable energy integration is presented in this paper, where the economic, environmental and grid impacts of EVs are reviewed.Abstract:
Electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy sources offer the potential to substantially decrease carbon emissions from both the transportation and power generation sectors of the economy. Mass adoption of EVs will have a number of impacts and benefits, including the ability to assist in the integration of renewable energy into existing electric grids. This paper reviews the current literature on EVs, the electric grid, and renewable energy integration. Key methods and assumptions of the literature are discussed. The economic, environmental and grid impacts of EVs are reviewed. Numerous studies assessing the ability of EVs to integrate renewable energy sources are assessed; the literature indicates that EVs can significantly reduce the amount of excess renewable energy produced in an electric system. Studies on wind–EV interaction are much more detailed than those on solar photovoltaics (PV) and EVs. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research.read more

Who will fuel your electric vehicle in the future? You or your utility?
TL;DR: In this article, an in-depth individual case study and a survey of Australian EV owners was conducted to examine the extent to which EV owners have adopted rooftop solar, and standalone batteries, in addition to how this affects their overall energy use and ultimately their likelihood of transitioning to prosumers or even nonsumers.

The Benefits of Randomly Delayed Charging of Electric Vehicles
TL;DR: In this article, a different approach, called randomly delayed charging, is explored, where the main idea is to charge a battery over night, but instead of starting the charging process as soon as possible, introduce a random delay, satisfying the boundary condition that the battery is sufficiently charged in the morning.

Battery control methods and circuits, and energy storage to grid connection systems
TL;DR: In this article, a system includes a battery charging circuit, a battery to grid circuit and a controller that monitors a power characteristic at the one or more storage batteries, and controls the batteries to selectively act as generator to supply power to the power grid or to act as a load to draw power from the grid in response to a predetermined disturbance in the power characteristic being detected.
