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

Combining photovoltaic energy with electric vehicles, smart charging and vehicle-to-grid
TL;DR: The results show that a high photovoltaic capacity could cover only a small portion of the transportation demand, if the charge is uncontrolled, and an intelligent control of the charge could better accommodate the photvoltaic energy and reduce the ramps.

Simulating the value of electric-vehicle–grid integration using a behaviourally realistic model
TL;DR: Simulations combining empirically derived models of vehicle adoption and charging with an electricity system model show that excluding consumer behaviour inflates these benefits of VGI.

Willing to participate in vehicle-to-grid (V2G)? Why not!
Joachim Geske,Diana Schumann +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a representative sample of vehicle users in Germany has been surveyed and the most important determinants of the willingness of V2G users to participate were range anxiety and the minimum range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extending the supply chain to address sustainability
TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual framework is proposed to explain how supply chains can become sustainable and improve their economic and socio-environmental performance by motivating consumer behavior toward green consumption patterns, which, in turn, motivate producers and suppliers to change their operations.

EV Charging Schedule in Coupled Constrained Networks of Transportation and Power System
TL;DR: Simulation results show that by introducing a flexible EV charge/travel schedule, the power system generation and delivery costs can be further reduced in which most EV users gain from the optimization of transportation, charge/discharge, and power system delivery schedules.

Integration of renewable energy into the transport and electricity sectors through V2G
Henrik Lund,Willett Kempton +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two national energy systems are modelled, one for Denmark, including combined heat and power (CHP) and the other a similarly sized country without CHP (the latter being more typical of other industrialized countries).

A conceptual framework for the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) implementation
Christophe Guille,George Gross +1 more
TL;DR: A proposed framework to effectively integrate the aggregated battery vehicles into the grid as distributed energy resources to act as controllable loads to levelize the demand on the system during off-peak conditions and as a generation/storage device during the day to provide capacity and energy services to the grid.
