  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Plug In Electric Vehicles in Smart Grids

Part of the book series: Power Systems ((POWSYS))

Abstract

The advent of renewable energy is about to change power systems around the world. In this sense, operating a power system may become an even more complex task, with implications on the system security, reliability and market. The role played by the utilities may not be diminished, since they must be able to provide energy when intermittent sources are not available. In this near future, the plug-in electric vehicles will also have an important role for power distribution systems. But, at the same time, they have a big potential to help on integration of the renewable power generation in existing power systems. This chapter presents some of the existing plug-in electric vehicles technologies and discusses a few implication of this new scenario in the system operation.
