Smart Grid And The Importance Of Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles (EVs) are a major solution for sustainability challenges such as global warming, fossil fuel depletion, emission of greenhouse gas that require immediate attention. Electric vehicles will be required in the future. The need for power rises in tandem with the desire for electric vehicles. The smart grid technology, which makes the job of a grid smoother, has become a requirement for smoother grid operation. Although integrating EVs in the smart grid is challenging, it has some advantages and EVs have the potential of serving the smart grid as an independent distributed energy source. In this paper we look at how EVs can be integrated to the grid with the concept of V2G.
