Overview of the impacts of plug-in electric vehicles on the power grid
Abstract
Electric Vehicles are marking a revolution all around the world owing to their environmental and socio-economical benefits. They are going to invade the vehicle market and automobile industry along with efficient and user preferred updates. From the utilities point of view, the adoption of plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) to the distribution network brings challenges as well as opportunities. One of the challenges is the demand, both pattern and amount that EV carry. Will the infrastructure be able to facilitate the demand? What are the prevailing concerns over the electricity grid during this transition? This paper provides an overview of the grid impacts associated with PEV grid integration.

Uncontrolled charging of EV load has the potential to severely affect the normal operation of the grid.
“It is evident from the literature [59][60][61][62] that the uncontrolled charging of EV load has the potential to severely affect the normal operation of the grid.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
