Abstract
In the last decade, the deployment of electric vehicles (EVs) has been largely promoted. This development has increased challenges in the power systems in the context of planning and operation due to the massive amount of recharge needed for EVs. Furthermore, EVs may also offer new opportunities and can be used to support the grid to provide auxiliary services. In this regard, and considering the research around EVs and power grids, this paper presents a chronological background review of EVs and their interactions with power systems, particularly electric distribution networks, considering publications from the IEEE Xplore database. The review is extended from 1973 to 2019 and is developed via systematic classification using key categories that describe the types of interactions between EVs and power grids. These interactions are in the framework of the power quality, study of scenarios, electricity markets, demand response, demand management, power system stability, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) concept, and optimal location of battery swap and charging stations.
Highlights
Over the last few years, electric transport has been largely promoted by governments as an effort to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and air pollution from vehicles propelled by internal combustion engines (ICEs)
Provide a chronological literature review through the end of 2019 of research on the interaction between Electric vehicles (EVs) and power distribution systems, found in IEEE Xplore database; perform a detailed and systematic classification of the papers that address EVs and distribution networks, considering relevant categories, e.g., power quality, demand management, power system stability, Vehicle-to-Grid services, and demand response, among others; identify the topics that need further exploration, mindful of the upcoming increase of EVs recharging on power grids
This paper presented a detailed review of the literature related to EVs and their impact on power distribution systems, considering categories that were carefully identified over an exhaustive examination on the IEEE Xplore database
Summary
Over the last few years, electric transport has been largely promoted by governments as an effort to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and air pollution from vehicles propelled by internal combustion engines (ICEs). In [3], certain operating features such as voltage stability, peak load, power quality, and transformer performance are considered as key classifiers; Jia in [4] introduces a more general classification focused on objective functions, optimization methods, and market design Works such as [5] develop a comprehensive review using a systematic classification considering a wide approach to the EV–power grid interaction. Compared with the literature reviews mentioned above, the primary contributions of this paper are listed below: provide a chronological literature review through the end of 2019 of research on the interaction between EVs and power distribution systems, found in IEEE Xplore database; perform a detailed and systematic classification of the papers that address EVs and distribution networks, considering relevant categories, e.g., power quality, demand management, power system stability, Vehicle-to-Grid services, and demand response, among others; identify the topics that need further exploration, mindful of the upcoming increase of EVs recharging on power grids.
