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

Solar and wind assisted heat pump to meet the building air conditioning and electric energy demand in the presence of an electric vehicle charging station and battery storage
TL;DR: In this article, an efficient renewable hybrid trigeneration system (RHTS) is analyzed to be employed for heating and cooling air conditioning and electricity production, where the electric energy is produced by means of an electric renewable hybrid system (ERHS), composed by photovoltaic (PV) and wind systems with a battery storage, which is employed to power the heat pumps, an EV charging station and building electric devices.

Network tariff design with prosumers and electromobility: Who wins, who loses?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the combined effect of DERs and EVs on grid cost recovery and find that the more a tariff structure gives incentives for DER, the less beneficial it is for EVs.
