Electrical power systems with their components such as generation, network, control and transmission equipment, management systems, and electrical loads are the backbone of modern life. Historical power outages caused by natural disasters or human failures show huge losses to the economy, environment, healthcare, and people’s lives. This paper presents a systematic review on three interconnected dimensions of (1) electric power system resilience (2) the electricity supply for/through Electric Vehicles (EVs), and (3) social vulnerability to power outages. This paper contributes to the existing literature and research by highlighting the importance of considering social vulnerability in the context of power system resilience and EVs, providing insights into addressing inequities in access to backup power resources during power outages. This paper first reviews power system resilience focusing on qualitative and quantitative metrics, evaluation methods, and planning and operation-based enhancement strategies for electric power systems during prolonged outages through microgrids, energy storage systems (e.g., battery, power-to-gas, and hydrogen energy storage systems), renewable energy sources, and demand response schemes. In addition, this study contributes to in-depth examination of the evolving role of EVs, as a backup power supply, in enhancing power system resilience by exploring the EV applications such as vehicle-to-home/building, grid-to-vehicle, and vehicle-to-vehicle or the utilization of second life of EV batteries. Transportation electrification has escalated the interdependency of power and transportation sectors, posing challenges during prolonged power outages. Therefore, in the next part, the resilient strategies for providing electricity supply and charging services for EVs are discussed such as deployments of battery swapping technology and mobile battery trucks (MBTs), as well as designing sustainable off-grid charging stations. It offers insights into innovative solutions for ensuring continuous electricity supply for EVs during outages. In the section on social vulnerability to power outages, this paper first reviews the most socioeconomic and demographic indicators involved in the quantification of social vulnerability to power outages. Afterward, the association between energy equity on social vulnerability to power outages is discussed such as inequity in backup power resources and power recovery and restoration. The study examines the existing challenges and research gaps related to the power system resilience, the electric power supply for/through EVs, social vulnerability, and inequity access to resources during extended power outages and proposes potential research directions to address these gaps and build upon future studies.

Alternative fuel vehicles may pose challenges to evacuation planning because of their short driving range and the sparse refueling infrastructure existing on transportation networks. Deployment and strategic siting of emergency refueling stations are needed to support the evacuation of alternative fuel vehicles to reach a shelter. This study proposes a location-routing problem with hop constraints that optimize the placement of emergency refueling stations of each alternative fuel type to support evacuation routing. We develop a Benders-inspired decomposition method with a transformed network to solve the location problem and a matheuristic branch-and-price method to design evacuation routes that minimize travel and refueling time and satisfy the hop constraints of each vehicle type. Our numerical experiments, focusing on the South Florida network, uncover the impacts of alternative fuel vehicle specifications and vehicle heterogeneity on the deployment plan.

“…As the EV sector has become a research hotspot, many studies in the EV sector have been conducted to tackle various issues related to transportation electrification. These studies span a range of subjects, including strategic charging infrastructure placement (Dong et al, 2014;Micari et al, 2017), E-mobility recommendation (Lee & Wood, 2020), transportation equity (Hardinghaus et al, 2020), emergency response (Feng et al, 2020;Li et al, 2022), and many others (Chen et al, 2013;Namdeo et al, 2014). Due to the interconnected nature of the EV sector with other systems, many of these studies require interdisciplinary strategies and the integration of multiple, cross-domain data sources.…”

Over the past decade, the electric vehicle (EV) industry has experienced unprecedented growth and diversification, resulting in a complex ecosystem. To effectively manage this multifaceted field, we present an EV‐centric knowledge graph (EVKG) as a comprehensive, cross‐domain, extensible, and open geospatial knowledge management system. The EVKG encapsulates essential EV‐related knowledge, including EV adoption, EV supply equipment, and electricity transmission network, to support decision‐making related to EV technology development, infrastructure planning, and policy‐making by providing timely and accurate information and analysis. To enrich and contextualize the EVKG, we integrate the developed EV‐relevant ontology modules from existing well‐known knowledge graphs and ontologies. This integration enables interoperability with other knowledge graphs in the Linked Data Open Cloud, enhancing the EVKG's value as a knowledge hub for EV decision‐making. Using six competency questions, we demonstrate how the EVKG can be used to answer various types of EV‐related questions, providing critical insights into the EV ecosystem. Our EVKG provides an efficient and effective approach for managing the complex and diverse EV industry. By consolidating critical EV‐related knowledge into a single, easily accessible resource, the EVKG supports decision‐makers in making informed choices about EV technology development, infrastructure planning, and policy‐making. As a flexible and extensible platform, the EVKG is capable of accommodating a wide range of data sources, enabling it to evolve alongside the rapidly changing EV landscape.
