“…A critical component of smart microgrid functionality is the integration of demand response programs and electric vehicles, which collectively enhance grid efficiency and sustainability. Aghajani and Heydari [16] emphasize the significance of such programs, noting their potential to significantly reduce operational costs in microgrids that incorporate EVs and renewable energy sources. This integration not only facilitates a more flexible energy demand management but also capitalizes on the potential of EVs as mobile energy storage units, further stabilizing the grid during peak load times.…”

Smart microgrids represent a transformative approach to modernizing the electrical infrastructure, emphasizing energy efficiency, sustainability, and resilience. These advanced systems integrate renewable energy sources, sophisticated energy storage technologies, and intelligent control mechanisms, enabling a more decentralized and efficient energy management framework. By facilitating a higher penetration of renewable energy and enhancing storage capacities, smart microgrids significantly reduce dependency on traditional power grids and fossil fuels, thereby contributing to substantial reductions in carbon emissions. Their ability to operate autonomously, or in "island mode," ensures a reliable and uninterrupted power supply, even in the face of external grid failures, highlighting their critical role in improving system reliability and energy security. The comparative analysis of Grid-Connected and Hybrid Microgrids further elucidates the benefits of smart microgrid implementations. Hybrid Microgrids, with their greater reliance on renewable sources, higher energy efficiency, and extended operational independence, showcase superior performance in reducing emissions, lowering operational costs, and providing better returns on investment. This comparison not only underscores the economic viability and environmental benefits of smart microgrids but also demonstrates their potential to meet and surpass current and future energy demands efficiently. smart microgrids are revolutionizing core electrical infrastructure by fostering a shift towards more sustainable, efficient, and resilient energy systems. Their development and deployment are pivotal to achieving global energy and environmental goals, making them a cornerstone for the future of energy management and a model for sustainable development.

An Updated Review and Outlook on Electric Vehicle Aggregators in Electric Energy Networks

Electric vehicles (EVs) are predicted to be highly integrated into future smart grids considering their significant role in achieving a safe environment and sustainable transportation. The charging/discharging flexibility of EVs, which can be aggregated by an agent, provides the opportunity of participating in the demand-side management of energy networks. The individual participation of consumers at the system level would not be possible for two main reasons: (i) In general, their individual capacity is below the required minimum to participate in power system markets, and (ii) the number of market participants would be large, and thus the volume of individual transactions would be difficult to manage. In order to facilitate the interactions between consumers and the power grid, an aggregation agent would be required. The EV aggregation area and their integration challenges and impacts on electricity markets and distribution networks is investigated in much research studies from different planning and operation points of view. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review and outlook on EV aggregation models in electrical energy systems. The authors aim to study the main objectives and contributions of recent papers and investigate the proposed models in such areas in detail. In addition, this paper discusses the primary considerations and challenging issues of EV aggregators reported by various research studies. In addition, the proposed research outlines the future trends around electric vehicle aggregators and their role in electrical energy systems.

“…EVs can supply active and reactive power for the grid and improve power system operating conditions consequently and because of the small capacity of each electric vehicle (EV), extensive use of EVs as a parking lot (PL) will have more challenges and opportunities for the power system [9,10]. EVPLs as an aggregator that collects EVs to reach high storage capacity can act as a controllable load with the potential of fast responding to the power injection need.…”

Power network operators have recently faced new challenges due to an increase in the penetration of non-dispatchable renewable energy sources in power grids.Incorporating emerging flexible resources like electric vehicle parking lots (EVPLs) and demand response programs (DRPs) into power systems, could be a good solution to deal with inherent uncertainties imposed by these resources to the power grid. EVPLs can improve power system operating conditions by active and reactive power injection capabilities. The participation of consumers in DRPs can also improve energy consumption management by decreasing or shifting loads to other periods. This paper proposes a hybrid information gap decision theory (IGDT)stochastic method to solve a transmission-constrained AC unit commitment model integrated with electric vehicle (EV), incentive-based DRP, and wind energy. The behavioural uncertainty related to EV owners is modelled using a scenario-based method. Additionally, an IGDT method is applied to manage wind energy uncertainty under a two-level optimization model. Verification of the proposed model is done under several case studies. Based on the results achieved, the proposed risk-based hybrid model allows the operator to differentiate between the risk level
