This paper is aimed at modelling of a distinct smart charging station for electric vehicles (EVs) that is suitable for DC quick EV charging while ensuring minimum stress on the power grid. Operation of the charging station is managed in such a way that it is either supplied by photovoltaic (PV) power or the power grid, and the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is also implemented for improving the stabilit...

Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) can serve in discharge mode as distributed energy and power resources operating as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) devices and in charge mode as loads or grid-to-vehicle (G2V) devices. It has been documented that PEVs serving as V2G systems can offer possible backup for renewable power sources, can provide reactive power support, active power regulation, load balancing, p...

The paper considers a bidirectional power flow model of the electric vehicles (EVs) in a charging station. The EVs can inject energies by discharging via a Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) service which can enhance the profits of the charging station. However, frequent charging and discharging degrade battery life. A proper compensation needs to be paid to the users to participate in the V2G service. We p...

The growing concern about global climatic changes and fossil fuel depletion calls for a shift from conventional modes of transportation to electric vehicles (EV). The idea of bidirectional interaction between grid and Electric vehicle has brought the V2G ,V2H etc. technologies . Bidirectional chargers adds the benefit of EVs by enabling energy transfer from vehicle to grid (V2G) or vehicle to h...

Vehicle to Grid (V2G) concept concerns the ability to inject the power contained in the batteries of the electric vehicles (EVs) into the smart grid (SG). The present paper deals with this concept in order to flatten the daily load curve with a particular focus on the interaction between EVs and SG. Based on that, a proposed novel model using a Bayesian game approach is built to study this inte...

The diffusion of Electric Vehicles (EV) fostered by the evolution of the power system towards the new concept of Smart Grid introduces several technological challenges related to the synergy among electricity-propelled vehicle fleets and the energy grid ecosystem. EVs promise to reduce carbon emissions by exploiting Renewable Energy Sources (RESes) for battery recharge, and could potentially se...

With the transition to electric vehicle technologies, large scale support infrastructure is being deployed. The vehicleto-grid (V2G) concept is an opportunity to take advantage from both infrastructure and electric vehicle drive. However, coordinating large number of agents in a reasonable speed and lack of homogenous distribution of the service provided by vehicle users to the grid have been l...

In vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems, electric vehicles interact with the grid as distributed energy storage systems that offer many potential benefits. As an energy interface between a vehicle and the grid, the bidirectional converter plays a crucial role in their interaction. Its reliability, safety, cost, efficiency, weight, size, harmonics, and other factors are of essential importance for V2G ...

Due to demand for decreasing CO2 emission and improving fuel-efficiency of vehicles, research and development of electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) is being revitalized worldwide. In advance of widespread use of EVs and PHEVs, Europe, United States and Japan have cooperated and worked on the international standardization of the vehicle charging system. We have ...
