Spatial and temporal modelling of coupled power and transportation systems: A comprehensive review

Abstract

Abstract The large‐scale application of electric vehicles can lead to new challenges in the operation of the two complex and coupled networks of electricity and transportation systems, thus creating a new concept—a power—traffic network. The purpose is to provide a comprehensive survey of this emerging field. First, both the transportation system and power grid models are briefly introduced in terms of time and space scales. Then, the power traffic network model and applications at long‐term, mid‐term, and short‐term time scales are summarized, and provided a unified view of these achievements. Based on this analysis, recommendations for future research are presented.
