Smart Grid Technologies
Published in Clark W. Gellings, Smart Grid Planning and Implementation, 2020
Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are defined as any hybrid vehicle with the ability to recharge its batteries from the grid, providing some or all of its driving through electric-only means. Almost all of the major automotive manufacturers have announced demonstration or production programs in the 2010 to -2014 timeframe, and their announced vehicles feature all-electric, plug-in hybrid-electric and extended-range electric vehicle configurations. Notable and earliest introductions among these are globally targeted production vehicles from General Motors (Chevrolet Volt, extended-range EV) and Nissan (Leaf, battery-only EV). It should also be noted that Tesla remains the manufacturer today producing their two-seater roadster and continues to work on their lower-priced, family (Model S) sedan.
Fuel cells and battery power
Published in Anthony N. Penna, A History of Energy Flows, 2019
As noted earlier, U.S. consumers burn more than 9 million barrels of gasoline each day. The energy consulting firm Wood Mackenzie projects that if electric cars gain more than 35 percent market share by 2035, the United States could see a cut from 9 million to 2 million barrels a day. These plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) would offer zero tailpipe emissions when operating solely on battery power. Compared to gasoline-powered vehicles, the high cost of electric cars remains the major barrier to adoption. Developing a battery that would cost US$150 per kilowatt-hour of energy storage remains the goal. A kilowatt-hour of energy output sells for about 10 cents and will move a car 3 to 4 miles. Currently, lithium-ion batteries cost US$1,000 per kilowatt-hour of energy output. Bringing the cost down to US$150 is the theoretical low as projected by engineers.34

Electric vehicle (EV)/plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) is a general term used to describe any car that uses a power source to drive an electric motor for its propulsion purposes. The first one is called the VE plug-in, where a battery is used to supply energy to an electrical motor charged from an electrical power outlet. It has the same characteristics of a conventional HEV, having an electric motor and an additional internal combustion engine.

Based on the consumption of electricity, there are many different types of electric vehicles. Grid-connected electric vehicles absorb the electricity from overhead or underground cables. Battery-based electric vehicles (BEV) have rechargeable batteries installed. Energy from the battery is used for vehicle operation and needs to be recharged once it’s down. Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) use a combination of a battery and conventional fuels to operate them. Separate charging is not required for the HEV battery as it gets charged through the process of regenerative braking. Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEV) uses batteries that can be charged from regular power outlets available domestically, commercially, or can also be powered by an engine [10].
Social group entropy optimization for day-ahead heat and power scheduling of an isolated microgrid
Published in Engineering Optimization, 2021
To reduce global warming, environmental pollution and exhaustion of petroleum energy, plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) can been used. PEVs behave like an electric load during charging of batteries, and charging can be controlled by taking part in time-of-use programmes with a flexible load, as presented by Alipour et al. (2017) and Aliasghari et al. (2018).
