Smart charging impact on electric vehicles in presence of photovoltaics

Abstract

The emergence of electric vehicles (EVs) promises to be the turning point of sustainable energy and, in particular, renewable energy production in the world. EV Charging will generate substantial extra demand for electricity. Renewable energy, including solar and wind power, can be met in the grid technically and economically. Recent studies have shown that smart charging of EV can increase the synergy between photovoltaics (PV), electrical transmission and electricity usage, resulting in technological and economic advantages. Given the increasing emphasis on this area, this analysis summarizes an overview on smart charging studies taking into account PV power output and consumption of electricity.

“…The use of renewable energy sources, especially PV panels, has grown exponentially in recent years due to its unique benefits and government or international support. In addition, the effective cooperation of PV arrays and PEVs with the help of intelligent energy management has been proven in the literature [12]. In this regard, the uncertainty of distributed generation sources and the high energy demand of electric vehicles are covered.…”

“…Therefore, in an ideal plan, all parties involved in the issue are trying to resolve it through cooperation. In this regard, smart charging of PEVs has become a hot trend in recent years [5], [6]. In other words, various methods control the output power of PEV as a flexible element to optimize the desired objective functions.…”
