TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS FOR SMART CHARGIN...

This book outlines issues related to massive integration of electric and plug-in hybrid
electric vehicles into power grids. Electricity is becoming the preferred energy vector for the
next new generation of road vehicles. It is widely acknowledged that road vehicles based on
full electric or hybrid drives can mitigate problems related to fossil fuel dependence. This
book explains the emerging and understanding of storage systems for electric and plug-in hybrid
vehicles. The recharging stations for these types of vehicles might represent a great advantage
for the electric grid by facilitating integration of renewable and distributed energy
production.This book presents a broad review from analyzing current literature to on-going
research projects about the new power technologies related to the various charging
architectures for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Specifically focusing on DC fast
charging operations  as well as  grid-connected power converters and the full range of energy
storage systems. These key components are analyzed for distributed generation and charging
system integration into micro-grids. The authors demonstrate that these storage systems
represent effective interfaces for the control and management of renewable and sustainable
distributed energy resources. New standards and applications are emerging from micro-grid pilot
projects around the world and case studies demonstrate the convenience and feasibility of
distributed energy management. The material in this unique volume discusses potential avenues
for further research toward achieving more reliable  more secure and cleaner energy.
