Integration of Electromobility With the Electric Power Systems: The Key Challenges

Abstract

The ongoing energy transition is rapidly transforming traditional electric utilities. While the energy transition attempts to combat the menace of climate change and stimulate green growth with clean transport (electromobility), renewable energies, and energy efficiency, it comes with new challenges for electric utilities. Some challenges are the technical, market design, and regulatory frameworks needed to integrate electromobility with the subsisting power systems. This paper discusses the integration challenges. Furthermore, it attempts to provide an analytical framework for the stakeholders and decision-makers (especially the policymakers and regulatory authorities) to address the market design and regulatory challenges.

Keywords: electric utilities, electromobility, energy transition, market design, regulation
