Abstract

Abstract: Currently, there is a huge production in the automotive industries and energy consumption resulted into spike in the cost and emissions of greenhouse gases. Hence, an efficient energy utilisation mechanism has become a prime most important factor. Energy and its conservation problem also have raised and become one of the prominent critical factors needed to address. Therefore, the development of smart grid infrastructure is one of the solutions to address the above issue.This article discusses different methods and mechanisms require to manage energy efficiently within the smart grid network using communication technologies and protocols and proposed an integration method of electric vehicles and smart grid using communication networks for charging or discharging electricity and exchanging relevant information. In addition, this paper discusses different integration strategies and multi‐agent system implementation in the smart grid network. The proposed multi‐agent system shows the efficient method for monitoring power flow and maintaining the stability of the grid. The paper also presents the optimal scheduling of charging of electric vehicles in the smart grid network. Finally, the authors investigated and presented many standard communication protocols and their comparisons with respect to different scenarios. This paper discuss different methods and concepts which would require to manage energy efficiently by using recent communication technologies, communication protocols, and sensor technologies.
