Integration of EVs into the smart grid: a systematic literature review

[摘要] Integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into the smart grid has attracted considerable interest from researchers, governments, and private companies alike. Such integration may bring problems if not conducted well, but EVs can be also used by utilities and other industry stakeholders to enable the smart grid. This paper presents a systematic literature review of the topic and offer a research framework to guide future research and enrich the body of knowledge. The systematic literature review presented in this paper does not contain all the material available on this subject. It does, however, include most of the key publications readily available in a power-utility or technical-reference library together with some of the earlier papers in the field (the anchor papers). For this review, we selected appropriate digital sources (digital libraries and indexing systems; IEEE Xplore and Web of Science), determined the search terms, and conducted a broad automated search. This article also details the components of the research theme—EV integration into the smart grid—as well as its accompanying use cases. The analysis of the relevant papers indicated four types of key research concerns: power-grid, power-system, and smart-grid reliability and the impacts of changes on them. These results can help guide future research to further smart-grid development. Future research can also expand the reach of this research to address its limitations in scope and depth.
