This chapter presents a detailed study of renewable energy integrated charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs) and discusses its various aspects such as siting requirements, standards of charging stations, integration of renewable energy sources for powering up charging stations and interfacing devices between charging facilities and smart grid. A smart charging station for EVs is explained along with its essential components and different charging methodologies are explained. It has been recognized that the amalgamation of electric vehicles in the transportation sector will trigger power issues due to the mobility of vehicles beyond the stretch of home area network. In this regard an information and communication technology (ICT) based architecture may support EVs management with an aim to enhance the electric vehicle charging and energy storage capabilities with the relevant considerations. An ICT based solution is capable of monitoring the state of charge (SOC) of EV batteries, health and accessible amount of energy along with the mobility of EVs.

This paper proposes an optimal network reconfiguration (ONR) by integrating the renewable energy (RE) based distributed generation (DG) resources, i.e., wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) modules, and electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS). The uncertainties related to renewable energy sources (RESs) are handled by using probability analysis. In this work, wind uncertainty is handled by using Weibull probability density function (PDF), and solar PV uncertainty is modeled by using Beta PDF. This paper also models the load of EVCSs. The ONR is a tool to operate distribution systems (DSs) at optimum cost/loss. In the literature, most of the ONR problems are solved as single objective type. This neccessiate the development of multi-objective based ONR problem and solved using the multi-objective algorithms by considering multiple objectives. Therefore in this paper, total cost of operation and power losses are considered as two objectives functions. The single objective-based ONR is solved using crow search algorithm (CSA) and multi-objective-based ONR is solved using multi-objective-based CSA. As the DS is unbalanced, the power flow for the unbalanced system will include the three-phase transformer. The ONR problem has been solved by considering 17 bus unbalanced and balanced DSs.
