Power System Decarbonization and Electrical Vehicles

Decarbonization of power systems represents the main tool of energy transition and sustainable development. Faced with many challenges, decarbonization of power systems needs the application of new technologies for production and energy storage, advanced optimization algorithms and artificial intelligence algorithms for system operation and control, as well as the utilization of all available balancing resources, especially at the distribution level by activating consumers and distributed resources. This paper gives an overview of the current state of decarbonization process in the world, including CO2 emission, electricity consumption rise, the rapid growth of electric vehicle sales and changes in power systems needed for their utilization.
