Emissions from the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Vehicles are one of the primary cause of air pollution and climate change. In recent years, Electric Vehicles (EVs) are becoming a more sensible alternative to these ICE vehicles. With the recent breakthroughs in battery technology and large scale production, EVs are becoming cheaper. In the near future, mass deployment of EVs will put severe stress on the existing Electrical Power System (EPS). Optimal scheduling of EV can reduce the stress on the existing network while accommodating large scale integration of EV. Integration of these EVs can provide several economic benefits to different players in the energy market. In this paper, recent works related to the integration of EV with electrical power system are classified based on their relevance to different players in the electricity market. This classification considers four players-Generation Company (GENCO), Distribution System Operator (DSO), EV Aggregator and End User. Further classification is done based on scheduling or charging strategies used for the grid integration of EVs. This paper provides a comprehensive review of technical challenges in grid integration of EVs along with their solution based on optimal scheduling and controlled charging strategies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
