According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the power and transport systems contribute over 50% of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. The combination of renewable energy resources and electrified transportation play a crucial role in helping countries meet their carbon neutrality goals. Coordinated planning of the power and transportation systems is necessary to ensure reliable, efficient, and economic operation of both systems. This paper surveys applications of large-scale transportation electrification, vehicle-to-grid charging, prosumer behavior, sector coupling, route optimization, and charging demand and estimation. The co-simulation frameworks available for coupling the power and transport systems to further study these applications are also surveyed. Most of the existing literature utilizes stochastic transportation models or ad-hoc co-simulation approaches which do not promote scalability, extensibility, and interoperability. It is proposed to extend the Hierarchical Engine for Large-Scale Infrastructure Cosimulation to communicate with an agent based transportation simulator for examining these interconnected applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
