Abstract

The increase in energy consumption and the CO2 emissions of fuel-based generating sources have raised the interest in renewable energy sources (RESs). However, the inherent intermittency in the renewable power generation hinders its widespread deployment. Electric vehicles (EVs) are an important component of future transportation system and are crucial for reducing global CO2 emissions and curtailing overall energy demand. Aggregating the EVs available as smart energy storage (SES) and utilizing it for leveling ...
