“…Some studies note the heightened performance of EVs compared to their counterparts in terms of not only efficiency but acceleration or "smoothness" and "quietness" of ride (Ryghaug and Toftaker 2014;Tran et al 2013;Tran et al 2012;Daziano and Chiew 2012). Others have affirmed that EVs require minimal maintenance and generally less effort to own or operate (Mwasilu et al 2014;Neubauer et al 2012).…”

I expand and integrate a theory of mobility (Automobility) with one of science and technology (Actor Network Theory) and one about social acceptance and user adoption (UTAUT).I apply this integrative framework to the diffusion (and non-diffusion) of electric vehicles and the process of electric mobility. I begin by presenting my methods, namely semi-structured qualitative research interviews with social theorists. Then, I present the three theories deemed most relevant by respondents. Automobility holds that, on a cultural or social level, automobiles exist as part of a complex, one that involves hardware and infrastructure-a hybridity between drivers and machines-along with patterns of identity and attitudes about driving pleasure. Actor Network Theory (ANT) involves the concepts of network assemblage, translation, enrollment, and actants and lieutenants. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, or UTAUT, states that on an individual level, the adoption of new technologies will be predicated on interconnected factors such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and other facilitating conditions.Based largely on the original interview data supplemented with peer-reviewed studies, I propose a conceptual framework of user acceptance consisting of motile pleasure, sociality, sociotechnical commensurability, and habitual momentum. I conclude with implications for research and policy.

“…The desired SOC is selected based on the uniform distribution between 60% and 100% of the maximum SOC. The initial SOC is set to a value less than the desired SOC generated by a normal distribution with the standard deviation of 2 kWh and the mean value of 10 kWh, which translates into about 28 miles of travel by a typical EV with an energy consumption rate of 0.36 kW/mile [34]. The penetration level of EVs is assumed to be 50% (670 EVs), which consumes about 5.46 MWh each day.…”

Transactive Demand Side Management Programs in Smart Grids with High Penetration of EVs

et al. 2017

Due to environmental concerns, economic issues, and emerging new loads, such as electrical vehicles (EVs), the importance of demand side management (DSM) programs has increased in recent years. DSM programs using a dynamic real-time pricing (RTP) method can help to adaptively control the electricity consumption. However, the existing RTP methods, particularly when they consider the EVs and the power system constraints, have many limitations, such as computational complexity and the need for centralized control. Therefore, a new transactive DSM program is proposed in this paper using an imperfect competition model with high EV penetration levels. In particular, a heuristic two-stage iterative method, considering the influence of decisions made independently by customers to minimize their own costs, is developed to find the market equilibrium quickly in a distributed manner. Simulations in the IEEE 37-bus system with 1141 customers and 670 EVs are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method can better manage the EVs and elastic appliances than the existing methods in terms of power constraints and cost. Also, the proposed method can solve the optimization problem quick enough to run in real-time.

“…In [123] researchers estimated that the charging infrastructures for level one and two in residential and commercial buildings cost around 900 USD and 1800 USD, respectively. Since a typical medium sized BEV-100, (with VMT of 100 miles) consumes 0.36 kWh per mile and has 40 kWh battery energy [124], a full charging cycle takes more than 20 h, 4 h, and 15 min with level one, level two, and level three chargers, respectively. However, the average VMT per day is around 25 miles and it is likely that EVs do not always need to be fully charged every day.…”

“…However, the maintenance and energy cost of EVs are much less than that of the conventional one. In order to help customers to choose a vehicle type, TCO of EVs is investigated in [124,[128][129][130]. In [128], TCO for annual VMT is developed based on a large data set of driving profiles from Germany.…”

Rising demand, climate change, growing fuel costs, outdated power system infrastructures, and new power generation technologies have made renewable distribution generators very attractive in recent years. Because of the increasing penetration level of renewable energy sources in addition to the growth of new electrical demand sectors, such as electrical vehicles, the power system may face serious problems and challenges in the near future. A revolutionary new power grid system, called smart grid, has been developed as a solution to these problems. The smart grid, equipped with modern communication and computation infrastructures, can coordinate different parts of the power system to enhance energy efficiency, reliability, and quality, while decreasing the energy cost. Since conventional distribution networks lack smart infrastructures, much research has been recently done in the distribution part of the smart grid, called smart distribution grid (SDG). This paper surveys contemporary literature in SDG from the perspective of the electricity market in addition to power system considerations. For this purpose, this paper reviews current demand side management methods, supply side management methods, and electrical vehicle charging and discharging techniques in SDG and also discusses their drawbacks. We also present future research directions to tackle new and existing challenges in the SDG.
