Electric Vehicle Integration in a Smart Microgrid Environment

The growing demand for energy in today’s scenario especially in the Middle East and South East Asia has been met with massive exploitation of fossil fuels which has resulted in an increase in environmental pollutants. In order to mitigate the issues arising from conventional ICE-powered vehicles, there has been a considerable acceleration in the adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs). Research has shown that the impact of fossil fuels use in transportation and surging demand in power owing to the growing EV charging Infrastructure can potentially be minimalized by Smart Micro grids. As EVs find wider acceptance with major advancements in high efficiency drivetrain and vehicle design, it has become clear that there is a need for system level understanding of energy storage and management in a microgrid environment. Practical issues such as fleet management, coordinated operation, re-purposing of batteries and environmental impact of recycling and disposal need to be carefully studied in the context of an ageing grid infrastructure. This book explores such as perspective with contributions from leading experts on planning, analysis, optimization and management of electrified transportation and the transportation infrastructure. The primary purpose of this book is to capture the state-of-the-art in Smart Microgrid Management with EV Integration and their applications. It also aims to identify potential research directions and technologies that will facilitate insight generation in various domains from smart home, smart cities, industry, business, and consumer applications. We expect the book to serve as a reference for a larger audience such as power system architects, practitioners, developers, new researchers, and graduate-level students, especially for emerging clean energy and transportation electrification sectors of the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
