Intelligent Computing & Optimization (ICO 2021)

Abstract

This article deals with a brief review of the literature about the potential use of renewable energies through the integration of smart grids and the use of electric vehicles as micro generators that allow energy exchange with the grid. The main technical aspects are addressed, as well as potential benefits and requirements necessary for said integration. Highlighting key aspects in the integration of smart grids, energy storage systems, prosumers and their interaction with electrical vehicles on the grid.
