will have a separate control and communication system whose design and deployment will require less capital investment. Apart from less capital investment, deploying smart charging infrastructure on an isolated generation system will be less complicated, easier to monitor, control, and operate, and have a low risk of losses incurred due to the controller’s failure or any fault in the system.

The time frame of analysis is another vital aspect to be considered while planning to deploy a smart charging infrastructure. The time frame can have short term or long-term impact. Short-term impact analysis is helpful in operational planning and to perform upgrading of the system. The local impact and system-wide impact are required to be accessed at a regular interval of time. The impact study can result in invaluable insights that can help increase reliability and long-term sustainability. The integration of renewables and an extension of services provided by EVs, such as peak load management and ancillary services, can be made using time frame analysis [66, 79].

      The impact study is not limited to technical analysis and proposed upgrades; social acceptance is another barrier to be considered while pushing the use of EVs in the transportation sector. Social acceptance is dependent on the existing grid infrastructure, services provided, and reliability. The smart charging infrastructure is dependent on electricity to operate and manage. Hence, before planning for shifting towards smart charging, it is essential to build confidence by increasing power reliability with the least outages. A balance between society’s interest (subsidized charging cost and support if subscribed to smart charging) and the operators’ (profits to hold operation and management of company/organization) of smart charging is required [80, 81]. Policy support worldwide also plays a significant role in the social acceptance of EVs and smart charging. Socio-technical analysis at different time frames and implementing recommendations at regular intervals can facilitate greater business opportunities to both operators and EV users [82].

1.9 Conclusion

Smart charging is supposed to be the future of EV charging. With the visible paradigm shift towards transport electrification, policymakers are framing and modifying existing policies to ensure success in implementation. Although the push of countries around the world is based on the sustainable energy goals of the United Nations, without increasing the generation capacity based on the renewables, it is difficult to harness optimal results for reduced carbon emissions. Further, an increased number of EVs will demand an innovative, intelligent, and robust charging infrastructure. Infrastructure development planning should consider every entity and its interests in the deployment. Power and energy management solutions should reduce the burden of the utility grid as well as ensure that each EV user is not barred from their requirements. The present smart charging systems are developed considering either one of the ideas or technology, such as ToU, V2G, V2B/V2H, for dynamic pricing control. If these technologies or ideas are implemented together, there are chances to satisfy the requirements of each stakeholder, although the optimization problem statement might be very complex.

      The complete chapter is briefly described below:

      1 The chapter defined the context of “smart”, followed by approaches a developer takes to make a system smarter.

      2 The context of smart is extended to define an outlook of smart charging and its requirements.

      3 The components and enablers are discussed in detail to conceptualize the smart charging architecture.

      4 The robust control systems involved in developing smart charging systems are introduced as centralised and decentralised architectures. Discussions are made to enable the reader to decide the topology suitable based on the location’s topography.

      5 A perspective on the communication between energy market entities, which involves two different ends of the smart charging ecosystem (EV manufacturers and the PSO) is focused on in this chapter.

      6 The chapter touches on every aspect of smart charging and extensively disseminates the requirements of both smart charging systems and coordination between entities within.

      7 The chapter introduced all the positive and negative aspects of smart charging in detail and paved a way to ideate the design and development of smart charging infrastructure.

      8 The impact on the market and global energy systems is also presented so that the design and development processes consider them during planning and deployment.

      The outlook presented will motivate the readers to work on practical implementation with reduced assumptions and constraints in the smart charging system.
