“…Alternatively, optimization can be used to optimally charge EVs, such that they mitigate voltage problems in low-voltage distribution grids [7]. These are just a few examples from the literature on the optimal charging of one or more EVs with different objectives [8][9][10]. Smart charging solutions or (Home) Energy Management Systems ((H)EMS) should be able to spread many of these flexible loads within the current grid capacity if properly designed and implemented; see Figure 2.…”

With the increasing adoption rate of electric vehicles, power peaks caused by many cars simultaneously charging on the same low-voltage grid can cause local overloading and power outages. Smart charging solutions should spread this load, but there is a residual risk of incidental peaks. A decentralized and autonomous technology called GridShield is being developed to reduce the likelihood of a transformer’s fuse blowing when other congestion solutions have failed. It serves as a measure of last resort to protect the grid against local power failures from unpredicted congestion by temporarily limiting the virtual capacity of charging stations. This paper describes the technical development and demonstrates how GridShield can keep a transformer load below a critical limit using simulations and real-world tests. It optimizes grid capacity while ensuring grid reliability.

“…The authors in [19] discussed the status of charging infrastructure development for EVs in the UK. The issues of increased load demand due to charging are discussed in [20], where the authors reviewed various smart charging strategies to tackle this challenge. A review of the critical impacts of grid-tied EVs is presented in [21], where the authors focused on the interaction of EVs in a smart grid environment.…”

“…However, the bulk of this systematic review done in [26] also focused on the various technological challenges associated with integrating EVs into smart grids and smart cities, particularly the problems of charging infrastructure. As seen in [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], most reviews and research papers concerning the risks and challenges of integrating electric vehicles into smart cities are focused on technical challenges. However, there are other associated risks and challenges associated with EV integration into smart cities, such as the security risks of electric vehicle infrastructure.…”

The integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into smart cities presents a promising opportunity for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing urban sustainability. However, there are significant risks and challenges associated with the integration of EVs into smart cities, which must be carefully considered. Though there are various reviews available on the challenges of integrating EVs into smart cities, the majority of these are focused on technical challenges, thereby ignoring other important challenges that may arise from such integration. This paper therefore provides a comprehensive overview of the risks and challenges associated with the integration of EVs into smart cities in one research paper. The different challenges associated with the integration of EVs into smart cities have been identified and categorized into four groups, namely: technical, economic, social, and environmental, while also discussing the associated risks of EV integration into smart cities. The paper concludes by highlighting the need for a holistic approach to EV integration into smart cities that considers these challenges and risks. It also identifies possible future trends and outlooks to address these challenges and promote the successful integration of EVs into smart cities. Overall, this paper provides valuable insights for policymakers, city planners, and researchers working towards sustainable urban transportation systems.

Smart charging is a means of monitoring and actively controlling EV chargers to optimize the distribution and consumption of energy with a focus on peak-load avoidance. This paper describes the most important requirements that have influenced the design and implementation of the “Smart Charging System” (SCS). It presents the architecture and main functional building blocks of the SCS, which have been realized in an iterative development process as an extension component of the already existing open-source solution “Open e-Mobility”. We also provide details on the functionality of the core smart charging algorithm within SCS and show how various data sources can be utilized by the system to increase the safety and efficiency of EV charging processes. Furthermore, we describe our iterative approach to developing the system, introduce the real-world testbed at SAP Labs France in Mougins/France, and share evaluation results and experiences gathered over a three-year period.
