ABSTRACT
Distributed energy resources (DERs) and electric vehicles (EVs) are both disruptive technologies that are rapidly transforming the energy landscape. DERs include solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, wind turbines, battery storage, and other small-scale generators that can be connected to the electric grid. EVs are battery-powered vehicles that are becoming increasingly popular as a way to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality. The integration of DERs and EVs into the electric grid presents both opportunities and challenges. DERs and EVs can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy security, and enhance grid resilience. On the other hand, the variability and intermittency of these resources can make it difficult to maintain a stable grid and ensure a reliable electricity supply.
