Summary: The increasing integration of renewable energy and new generation consumers requires modifications and upgrades to the existing grid infrastructure. Necessary analyses for optimal integration criteria are essential to ensure grid stability and optimal integration of renewables. Two-way power flows and variable power production of renewables must be considered for system design during the integration phase.

Summary: This study proposes an intelligent PEV charging scheduling system that takes into account time-varying tariffs, peak demand charges, and export tariffs, while considering the energy consumption of buildings and intermittent energy resource generation. The approach, based on adaptive model predictive control and a depth-first-search-based charging planning algorithm, demonstrates a cost reduction of approximately 5% and 35% in the United States and the United Kingdom domestic settings, respectively, compared to standard PEV charging practices.

Summary: This paper proposes a modified version of Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) for optimal energy management in a Microgrid (MG) with Parking Lots (PL) and Distributed Generation (DG) units. A 24-hour scheduling is conducted for participation in DG units and electric vehicles PLs in two scenarios. The PLs are divided into seven groups with different trip behaviors, and energy management is carried out to minimize operating costs based on the charging status of electric vehicles and the production capacity of distributed generation sources. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, reducing the MG operation cost by about 63%. Furthermore, the optimization results using the proposed ICA algorithm are compared with genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarming optimization (PSO) algorithms, showing superior performance.

Summary: This paper proposes a bi-level planning and operation framework to determine the optimal locations of electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) and the scheduling of electric vehicles (EVs) in order to reduce peak load and network congestion in low voltage distribution networks. The framework takes into account uncertain EV and distribution network behavior and uses vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and grid-to-vehicle (G2V) technology to charge and discharge EVs. The proposed method has been tested on an Australian scenario and shown to significantly reduce network losses and voltage deviations by installing EVCS at optimal locations.

Summary: This paper explores standards battles between different committees or SDOs in market-based standardization, introducing a new type referred to as 'committee standards battles'. It finds that failure to achieve compatibility between standards from different committees can result in communication interference, while social incompatibilities between actors from different industries and alliances with vested interests complicate the battling scene.

Summary: This article proposes a computational architecture combining energy trading and demand responses based on cloud computing for managing virtual power plants (VPPs) in smart grids. EVs can be charged rapidly by purchasing energy in the cloud, while users with storage devices can sell surplus energy to the market. By modeling the interactions between EV owners and VPPs as a non-cooperative game, a Nash equilibrium is sought to maximize revenue and minimize charging costs.

Summary: The study suggests that by considering the operational constraints and external loads of PDNs, the challenges posed by electric AMoD fleets on power distribution networks can be significantly attenuated, avoiding overloads or voltage drops. In practical operations, coordinating the relationship between electric AMoD fleets and PDNs effectively eliminates the majority of potential problems.
