1ST IEEE WORKSHOP ON ELECTRIC VEHICLE NETWORKS FOR SMART GRID APPLICATIONS (EVN-SGA 2013)
June 2, 2013, Dresden, Germany
In conjuntion with 2013 IEEE 77th Vehicular Technology Conference: VTC2013-Spring

Workshop website: http://www.nprg.ncsu.edu/evn-sga/

The number of electric and hybrid vehicles on the road is increasing at a fast pace. These vehicles require frequent charging, thus straining the power grid that needs to adapt to these extra loads. A smart grid needs to be able to accommodate seamlessly the extra power demand generated by such vehicles. Hence, there is a pressing need to develop novel vehicular protocols and communication networks to provide information regarding the placement of closest charging stations to the vehicles, availability of charging slots and other services offered in real time. Further, they can be employed for vehicle monitoring, for providing data for detailed usage analysis, remote management, as well as to improve reliability, and even to help decide whether vehicles should be charged at on- or off-peak times.

To accomplish these tasks and in addition to monitor dynamic pricing, offer flexible billing smart devices need to be developed and integrated in the network. On the supply side, operators should optimize grid operations and offer energy efficiency programs to reduce consumption and help smooth demand. Smart grid technology would enable utility companies to efficiently manage large number of electric vehicles; such technologies would integrate sensors, advanced meters, smart transformers, automatic energy distribution, load monitoring, and intelligent energy management to minimize operational problems and maximize efficiency of the power grid

Finally, there is need for infrastructure that would provide up to date maps of locations and services of charging stations, or for battery switching and swapping. For electric vehicles to become a viable large scale transportation option, a reliable, ubiquitous recharging network is needed and the associated information, communications and control infrastructure needs to be developed.

The 1st IEEE Workshop on Electric Vehicle Networks for Smart Grid Applications (EVN-SGA 2013) will serve as a forum for researchers from industry and academia, standard developers, professionals, policy makers and practitioners to share their state-of-the-art research and development results. The purpose of the workshop is to foster discussion on emerging and novel approaches to integrate electric vehicles within the future smart grid, from all angles of views, including researchers, developers, manufacturers, policy regulators, funding bodies. Attendees will be able to gain a clear picture on the current status, the future and opportnuities in the field of electric vehicles and to interact with the highest experts all over the world on the subject.

We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, techniques and applications, best practices, awareness and experiences as well as future trends and needs, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard forums or in industry consortia.
