A Chronological Literature Review of Electric Vehicle Interactions with Power Distribution Systems

Abstract

In the last decade, the deployment of electric vehicles (EVs) has been largely promoted. This development has increased challenges in the power systems in the context of planning and operation due to the massive amount of recharge needed for EVs. Furthermore, EVs may also offer new opportunities and can be used to support the grid to provide auxiliary services. In this regard, and considering the research around EVs and power grids, this paper presents a chronological background review of EVs and their interactions with power systems, particularly electric distribution networks, considering publications from the IEEE Xplore database. The review is extended from 1973 to 2019 and is developed via systematic classification using key categories that describe the types of interactions between EVs and power grids. These interactions are in the framework of the power quality, study of scenarios, electricity markets, demand response, demand management, power system stability, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) concept, and optimal location of battery swap and charging stations.

Construction Planning and Operation of Battery Swapping Stations for Electric Vehicles: A Literature Review

“…In order to solve this dilemma, the government has invested a lot of energy in infrastructure deployment. Service operation of electric vehicle charging stations has become a hot issue for scholars; for example, the deployment of charging stations [7][8][9], electric vehicle interaction with power systems [10][11][12] and the VRP problem with charging stations [13][14][15][16][17][18]. However, as the main mode of energy supply for electric vehicles, charging mode also has two main problems that restrict the industrialization of electric vehicles.…”

Load Management Strategies to Increase Electric Vehicle Penetration—Case Study on a Local Distribution Network in Stockholm

“…Previous studies in this field have been carried out for distribution networks over different locations in the world and in Sweden. Within the extensive review carried out in Reference [9], demand side management and scenario-based analyses were been identified as categories with a major presence in the literature. In the study carried out in Reference [10], charging behavior factors were shown to have a strong influence on the results.…”

Charging and Discharging of Electric Vehicles in Power Systems: An Updated and Detailed Review of Methods, Control Structures, Objectives, and Optimization Methodologies

“…This study also examined various EV load modeling techniques to deal with uncertainties. In [17], the authors categorized EV-related studies based on the time of publication and the impact of EVs on the distribution network. In [18], the capabilities and challenges of EVs to support network, residential, and business buildings are examined, and, accordingly, EV services are divided into three categories, including V2G, V2H, and V2B.…”
