Requirement of integration of renewable energy sources (RES) with charging infrastructure

Renewable energy sources (RES) are becoming increasingly important due to concerns over climate change and the depletion of fossil fuels. Integrating RES with electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is a key step toward achieving sustainable transportation. This chapter explores various aspects of RES and their integration with EVs, emphasizing technological advancements, integration challenges, and future possibilities.. The technological landscape of RES is evolving rapidly, marked by innovations in battery storage, smart grid systems, and charging infrastructure. Envisioned scenarios for integrating RES with EV infrastructure hold considerable promise. In one scenario, widespread adoption of EVs and RES could lead to a substantial reduction in CO2 emissions. Another scenario involves the establishment of microgrids, facilitating the distribution of RES-generated energy to nearby communities. Additionally, vehicle-to-grid technology, which allows EVs to supply energy back to the grid during peak demand periods, has the potential to revolutionize energy distribution.
