Drs. Bayram and Tajer have assembled a clear and systematic guide to integration of plug-in vehicles into the modernized electricity grids, and addressing the pertinent technological, economic, and social challenges. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the numerous complex interactions at the interface of the two already complex networks, i.e., electricity and transportation systems. It starts with reviewing the current market status, the existing enabling technologies such as batteries, chargers, and current charging station infrastructure. It then provides a detailed analysis on the interactions between power grids and PEV demand, with special attention to optimizing and control of charging station infrastructure. Furthermore, the usage of PEV batteries to support the grid, residential houses, and buildings is discussed thoroughly. The book concludes with reviewing some of the relevant social, economical, and political impediments to the mainstream acceptance of the PEVs. The book maintains a global perspective in all the discussions, and it will guide designing the next-generation PEV infrastructure and operations.
