“…Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a computational approach that simulates the behaviors and interactions of autonomous agents within a given environment to study complex systems [45]. In the context of sustainable smart cities, ABM can be employed to model the behavior of individual EVs, the charging infrastructure, and the transportation network.…”

As the process of urbanization continues to accelerate, the demand for sustainable cities has become more critical than ever before. The incorporation of electric vehicles (EVs) is a key component in creating sustainable cities. However, the development of smart cities for EVs entails more than just the installation of charging stations. Software engineering plays a crucial role in realizing smart cities for electric vehicles. This paper examines the role of software engineering in the creation of smart cities for electric vehicles, the techniques utilized in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, the obstacles faced by software engineers, and the future of software engineering in sustainable cities. Specifically, the paper explores the significance of software engineering in integrating EVs into the transportation system, including the design of smart charging and energy management systems, and the establishment of intelligent transportation systems. Additionally, the paper offers case studies to demonstrate successful software engineering implementations for smart cities. Finally, the paper concludes with a discussion of the challenges that software engineers encounter in implementing intelligent transportation systems for EVs and provides future directions for software engineering in sustainable cities.

“…Thus, the potential for EV expansion follows not only the technical aspects but the EV owners' response toward future EV adoption. In this context, HC studies are formulated from the user perspective [43,44]. The EV attractiveness, apart from market offerings, is a function of adequate energy delivery which is investigated in [45] for an LV suburban residential grid in Dublin with a total required energy of 819 kWh.…”

The electrification of the transport sector to control the carbon footprint has been gaining momentum over the last decade with electric vehicles (EVs) seen as the replacement for conventional internal combustion engines. Economic incentives, subsidies, and tax exemptions are also paving the way for rising EV penetration in the power distribution networks. However, the exponential EV adoption requires careful technical and regulatory analysis of traditional networks to satisfy the network reliability constraints. Therefore, it would be vital to find EV hosting capacity (HC) limits of networks from a multifaceted approach involving various market players, mainly distribution system operators and EV owners. This review provides a systematic categorization of EV hosting capacity evaluation and improvement methods, thus enabling researchers and industry personnel to navigate the advancing landscape of EVs. This novel framework extends beyond the theoretical implication of diverse objective functions and HC improvement methods to the actual numerical values of EV HC across varying geographical settings. Therefore, this unique synthesis of varying aspects of EV HC facilitates the in‐depth understanding of the integration of sustainable energy and transport sector.

“…In order to address the impacts caused by high-penetration EVs in three-phase four-wire AC LVDNs, various studies have been conducted [8]- [12]. Building dedicated DTs and lines for EV charging piles can alleviate these problems [8], [9]. However, the feasibility of this high-investment solution is limited as the unbalance caused by AC charging piles can still exist.…”

“…Compared with the solutions that solely based on AC LVDNs [8]- [12], DC technology has the potential to address these issues caused by EV integration. In distribution networks, DC technology has been widely used to increase the power transfer capacities and improve power quality, thus makes it more suitable for the integration of DC piles [13]- [15].…”

Driven by carbon-neutral targets and transportation electrification, the widespread use of electric vehicles (EVs) has become an irreversible trend. However, low-voltage distribution networks (LVDNs) can face several challenges under the high-penetration EV integration, including overloads, voltage violations and unbalance issues. In this paper, an EV integration-oriented DC conversion scheme and the associated adaptive control method for LVDNs is proposed, aiming at releasing more capacity for EVs and collaborative improvement of the above issues caused by EV charging. Based on analyzing the influence of different charging piles connected to the AC and DC LVDNs, a DC conversion scheme for threephase four-wire LVDNs under high-penetration EVs is proposed. The voltage source converter (VSC) control strategies aimed at alleviating the overload of the DTs, voltage violations, and three-phase unbalance are designed separately based on the modified three-phase four-wire voltage sensitivity. Then, a coordinated adaptive control strategy of on-load tap changer and VSCs is proposed considering the simultaneous occurrence of multiple power quality issues in hybrid AC/DC LVDNs. Case study verifies the effectiveness of the proposed DC conversion and adaptive control methods, by which the maximum EV penetration of the hybrid AC/DC LVDN is increased from 85% to 215% compared with the AC LVDN.
