Abstract
Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are becoming more popular due to their superior environmental friendly nature than conventional vehicles. Integrating renewable energy with electric vehicles receives significant research attention, which drives the future mode of transportation. The adoption of more electric vehicles and renewable energy-based charging infrastructures will reduce carbon emissions and fossil fuel consumption. However, there are some drawbacks due to the integration of electric vehicles and renewable energy in the electric power system. The natural fluctuations of renewable energy sources provide significant difficulties in implementing charging infrastructures based on them. Likewise, PEV charging will have a substantial impact on the reliability of the distribution system. Energy management plays a crucial part in optimizing EV charging cost and usage, and on the grid side, it helps to balance the grid by effectively managing the renewable energy with the load. This chapter analyzes the impact the EV charging on the power distribution system and recommends some mitigation techniques for improving grid reliability.
