In this thesis, we mainly discuss four topics on Electric Vehicles (EVs) in the context of smart
grid and smart transportation systems. The first topic focuses on investigating the impacts of …

Conventional internal combustion engine vehicles are one of the main reasons for the
increase in carbon emissions. The Electric Vehicles (EVs) in the transportation sector to …

We propose a decentralized management of the charging and discharging process of plug-
in electric vehicles (PEVs). By simply switching a PEV during charging, discharging, or in an …

Coordinated charging of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) can effectively mitigate the negative
effects imposed on the power distribution grid by uncoordinated charging. Simultaneously …

In this paper, we present a scalable approach for DSM (demand side management) of
PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles). Essentially, our approach consists of three steps …

With an increasing market share of electric vehicles (EVs) the question of additional
electricity demand and its effects arises. In this context, smart charging of EVs is discussed …

Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) play a pivotal role in transportation electrification. The
flexible nature of PEVs' charging demand can be utilized for reducing charging cost as well …

This paper proposes three novel distributed algorithms to optimally schedule Plug-in Electric
Vehicle (PEV) charging. We first define the global optimization problem, where we seek to …

Although Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) are associated with zero tailpipe emissions, the
electrical grid emissions due to charging of the vehicles are motivating the use of distributed …

Holistic energy management of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in a smart-grid
environment is an enormous control challenge. This chapter responds to this challenge by …
