Abstract
Abstract The electricity demand and supply could be off balance if several electric vehicles(EVs) were charged at the same time or at peak load times. Therefore, smart grids are necessary to flatten the EVs’ electricity demand and to enable EVs to be used as distributed storage devices as electricity demand from EV-charging increases. There are still few quantitative studies on the impact of smart grids on managing EVs’electrical loads. In this study, we analyzed the quantitative impact of smart grids on managing EVs’ electrical loads and suggested policy implications. As a result, it is identified that smart grids can manage effectively EVs’ impact on electrical grids. The electricity market structure and regulatory framework should support the demonstration and commercialization of smart grid technologies.
