The market for electric vehicles (EVs) has grown with each year, and EVs are considered to be a proper solution for the mitigation of urban pollution. So far, not much attention has been devoted to the use of EVs for public transportation, such as taxis and buses. However, a massive introduction of electric taxis (ETs) and electric buses (EBs) could generate issues in the grid. The challenges are different from those of private EVs, as their required load is much higher and the related time constraints must be considered with much more attention. These issues have begun to be studied within the last few years. This paper presents a review of the different approaches that have been proposed by various authors, to mitigate the impact of EBs and ETs on the future smart grid. Furthermore, some projects with regard to the integration of ETs and EBs around the world are presented. Some guidelines for future works are also proposed.

This paper presents a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique using model predictive control (MPC) for single phase grid connected photovoltaic (PV) systems. The technique exhibits fast convergence, which is ideal for rapidly varying environmental conditions such as changing temperature or insolation or changes in morphology of the PV array itself. The maximum power of PV system is tracked by a high gain DC-DC converter and feeds to the grid through a seven-level inverter. Considering the stochastic behavior of the solar energy resources and the low conversion efficiency of PV cells, operation at the maximum possible power point is necessary to make the system economical. The main contribution of this paper is the development of incremental conductance (INC) method using two-step model predictive control. The multilevel inverter controller is based on fixed step current predictive control with small ripples and low total harmonic distortion (THD). The proposed MPC method for the grid connected PV system speeds up the control loop by sampling and predicting the error two steps before the switching signal is applied. As a result, more energy will be captured from the PV system and injected into grid particularly during partially cloudy sky. A comparison of the developed MPPT technique to the conventional INC method shows significant improvement in dynamic performance of the PV system. Implementation of the proposed predictive control is presented using the dSPACE DS1103.
