Artificial Intelligence-Empowered Modern Electric Vehicles in Smart Grid Systems: Fundamentals, Technologies, and Solutions is an essential reference for energy researchers, graduate students, and engineers who aim to understand the opportunities offered by artificial intelligence for the integration of electric vehicles into smart grids. The book covers foundational knowledge, including the essentials of artificial intelligence and its applications for electric vehicles in a clear and holistic manner. Next, it breaks down two essential areas of application in more detail: energy management (from to energy harvesting to demand response and complex forecasting), and market strategies (including peer-to-peer, vehicle-to-vehicle, and vehicle-to-everything trading, plus cybersecurity implications). A final part provides detailed case studies and close consideration of challenges, including code and data sets for replication of techniques. Providing a clear pathway from fundamentals to practical implementation, this book provides multidisciplinary guidance for implementing this cutting-edge technology in the energy systems of the future.
