Abstract

The development of new technologies such as renewable energy sources, energy storage devices, and electric vehicles has changed the structure of the distribution grid to an active grid with bidirectional power flow. This paper introduces the concept of a smart island and its challenges and an isolated smart microgrid mode. Furthermore, this review provides an overview of the challenges that the penetration of electric vehicles has on islands through various types of charging modes. Finally, it is analyzed the impact of vehicle-to-grid on islands and the decarbonization of transportation sectors.
