Abstract The current transition towards electric mobility implies that a significant portion of electricity is drawn by and stored in the vehicle’s (EV) batteries. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technologies can potentially give distribution system operators access to such energy provide ancillary services, while remunerating vehicle owners for their availability participate. Although benefits stabiliza...

Grid-connected electric vehicles (GEVs) and energy-transportation nexus bring a bright prospect to improve the penetration of renewable energy economy microgrids (MGs). However, it is challenging determine optimal vehicle-to-grid (V2G) strategies due complex battery aging mechanism volatile MG states. This article develops novel online anti-aging management method for by using deep reinforcemen...

In power systems, although the inertia energy in power sources can partly cover power unbalances caused by load disturbance or renewable energy fluctuation, it is still hard to maintain the frequency deviation within acceptable ranges. However, with the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technique, electric vehicles (EVs) can act as mobile energy storage units, which could be a solution for load frequency c...

This paper presents the performance evaluation of a proposed single-phase bidirectional active neutral-point-clamped (ANPC) five-level converter (5LC) for filtering in grid-to-vehicle (G2V), vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and vehicle-to-home (V2H) applications. In system, 5LC is series-connected with an electric vehicle battery charger based on dual half-bridge DC-DC (DAHBC). A cascaded strategy proport...

Large-scale sustainable energy systems will be necessary for substantial reduction of CO2. However, large-scale implementation faces two major problems: (1) we must replace oil in the transportation sector, and (2) since today’s inexpensive and abundant renewable energy resources have fluctuating output, to increase the fraction of electricity from them, we must learn to maintain a balance betw...

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) from electric vehicles (EVs) represents an opportunity to provide transitioning electricity systems with battery storage as they face increasing shares of variable renewable generation. However, whilst the availability V2G dispatchable depends on travel and charging habits drivers, there is scarce experience managing portfolios EVs in this way. This paper investigates impa...

The battery charging power electronics interface of an electric vehicle (EV) must be capable bidirectional flow to enable both grid-to-vehicle (G2V) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) operations. In the presence a single/three-phase AC supply, front-end EV charger employs factor correction (PFC) rectifier, which should have capability facilitate V2G mode. A conventional active rectifier functions in boo...
