“…Girardi et al [9] rely on a previous study by Lanati et al [29], which uses a model to determine the optimal long term evolution of the generation set, with and without EV demand. They obtained no significant changes in the two scenarios, because of the limited impact of EV demand, found to be less than 5% of the total 2030 end-use demand, with an EV penetration rate of 25%.…”

: Life Cycle assessments (LCAs) on electric mobility are providing a plethora of diverging results. 44 articles, published from 2008 to 2018 have been investigated in this review, in order to find the extent and the reason behind this deviation. The first hurdle can be found in the goal definition, followed by the modelling choice, as both are generally incomplete and inconsistent. These gaps influence the choices made in the Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) stage, particularly in regards to the selection of the electricity mix. A statistical regression is made with results available in the literature. It emerges that, despite the wide-ranging scopes and the numerous variables present in the assessments, the electricity mix’s carbon intensity can explain 70% of the variability of the results. This encourages a shared framework to drive practitioners in the execution of the assessment and policy makers in the interpretation of the results.

“…For estimating power demand of a FC station, it is necessary to make an assumption on the number of EVs that need to be charged in each station at any time of the day. Considering the Italian case and data available from the census made by ISTAT (see [1][2][3]), that people owning a private parking place shall be more inclined to buy EVs and to charge their vehicle during the night (car not used and cheaper energy rate), makes possible to estimate that in Italy at the most 64% of the energy for charging EV circulating in 2030 would be allocated during the night and that at least 36% would be allocated during the day [4]. Than we take the further assumption that 6% of EV will charge (during the day) connected to a LV network and a 30% will use a FC stations connected to the MV network.…”

In the next 20 years the number of electric vehicles (EV) will exponentially increase. That will be mostly due to governments and car manufacturers which are coordinating the effort to reduce urban pollution and greenhouse gas emission. The energy required for charging EV usually recovering in private parking places for many hours, will be mainly provided through smart charging boxes ("wall box") managed by the (smart) grid control system of the LV network. In all other cases, EVs will be charged in fast charging stations or battery swap stations connected to the MV network. Such charging stations require high power during the day, especially when the network could be overloaded, hence there is the need to model the impact on the grid. This paper investigates the possibility to use storages to shave peak power demand due to FC stations and the possibility to use these storages to provide additional network services, included the optimization of intermittent-notprogrammable energy sources, such as renewable energy.

“…The preparedness of the electricity grid in response to the rise in EV demand is concerning [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Numerous attempts are taken to systematize the charging/discharging of EVs to mitigate the potential detrimental impacts [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], propose pricing schemes [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47], and coordination with the transportation network [23,[48][49][50][51].…”

Impact of Transportation Electrification on the Electricity Grid—A Review

et al. 2022

Transportation electrification is a pivotal factor in accelerating the transition to sustainable energy. Electric vehicles (EVs) can operate either as loads or distributed power resources in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) or vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) linkage. This paper reviews the status quo and the implications of transportation electrification in regard to environmental benefits, consumer side impacts, battery technologies, sustainability of batteries, technology trends, utility side impacts, self-driving technologies, and socio-economic benefits. These are crucial subject matters that have not received appropriate research focus in the relevant literature and this review paper aims to explore them. Our findings suggest that transitioning toward cleaner sources of electricity generation should be considered along with transportation electrification. In addition, the lower cost of EV ownership is correlated with higher EV adoption and increased social justice. It is also found that EVs suffer from a higher mile-per-hour charging rate than conventional vehicles, which is an open technological challenge. Literature indicates that electric vehicle penetration will not affect the power grid in short term but charging management is required for higher vehicle penetration in the long-term scenario. The bi-directional power flow in a V2G linkage enhances the efficiency, security, reliability, scalability, and sustainability of the electricity grid. Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charging/discharging has also been found to be effective to offload the distribution system in presence of high EV loads.
