“…They do not take into consideration any uncertainties involved (neither RES generation nor EV driving profiles [23]). Furthermore, other research had been done in the context of charging of EVs in parking garages with the interaction of RES, however, they consider one homogenous type of EV fleet only [24] or no uncertainties [25]. This paper extends the existing literature by considering the charging behavior of the EV according to its field of application: commercial customers, commuters, and opportunity parkers.…”

a b s t r a c tElectric vehicles are one of the concepts towards green and sustainable transportation systems. However, several uncertainties with respect to electricity demand and availability of electric vehicles as well as electricity supply by renewable energy sources influence an optimal scheduling through smart charging strategies. This paper investigates the possibilities to integrate additionally loads of uncertain renewable energy sources by smart charging strategies of three different electric vehicle fleets namely, com mercial customers, commuters, and opportunity parkers. Therefore, data from an empiric field test with a public charging infrastructure in a parking garage with a photovoltaic system is taken. Various stra tegies are analyzed, considering the changing individual electricity demand, restrictions and parking times of electric vehicle fleets by combining a Monte Carlo simulation approach with different meth odologies like a heuristic algorithm, an optimization model and stochastic programming. The numerical results indicate that the domestic photovoltaic generation of the car park can be fully used by the electric vehicle fleets for charging and the utilization of photovoltaic can be doubled when comparing uncon trolled and optimized charging strategies. The commuter fleet has the highest CO 2 emission reduction potential of all three electric vehicle fleets. Moreover, load management decreases costs, even when uncertainties are considered.

“…Another concept is produced using the smart grid and the EVs, called virtual power plant (VPP), where a cluster of vehicles are considered as a power plant and dealt like one in system. [153][154][155], thus serving the increase of commercial RES deployment. The V2G structure is further helpful to integrate RES for charging of EVs, and to the grid as well, as it enables the selling of energy to the grid when there is surplus, for example, when vehicles are parked and the system knows the user will not need the vehicle before a certain time.…”

Electric vehicles (EV) are getting more commonplace in the transportation sector in recent times. As the present trend suggests, this mode of transport is likely to replace the internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in near future. Each of the main EV components has a number of technologies that are currently in use or can become prominent in the future. EVs can cause significant impacts on the environment, power system, and other related sectors. The present power system can face huge instabilities with enough EV penetration; but with proper management and coordination, EVs can be turned into a major contributor to the successful implementation of smart grid. There are possibilities of immense environmental benefits as well, as the EVs can extensively reduce the greenhouse gas emission from the transportation sector. However, there are some major obstacles for EVs to overcome before replacing the ICE vehicles totally. This paper is focused on reviewing all the useful data available on EV configurations, energy sources, motors, charging techniques, optimization techniques, impacts, trends, and possible directions of future developments. Its objective is to provide an overall picture of the current EV technology and ways of future development to assist in future researches in this sector.

Abstract.Within the next few years, Electrified vehicles are destined to become the essential component of the transport field. Consequently, the charging infrastructure should be developed in the same time. Among this substructure, Charging stations photovoltaic-assisted are attracting a substantial interest due to increased environmental awareness, cost reduction and rise in efficiency of the PV modules. The intention of this paper is to review the technological status of Photovoltaic-Electric vehicle (PV-EV) charging stations during the last decade. The PV-EV charging station is divided into two categories, which are PV-grid and PVstandalone charging systems. From a practical point view, the distinction between the two architectures is the bidirectional inverter, which is added to link the station to the smart grid. The technological infrastructure includes the common hardware components of every station, namely: PV array, dc-dc converter provided with MPPT control, energy storage unit, bidirectional dc charger and inverter. We investigate, compare and evaluate many valuable researches that contain the design and control of PV-EV charging system. Additionally, this concise overview reports the studies that include charging standards, the power converters topologies that focus on the adoption of Vehicle-to grid technology and the control for both PV-grid and PV standalone DC charging systems.
