In this paper, an economic dispatch model with probabilistic modeling is developed for a microgrid. The electric power supply in a microgrid consists of conventional power plants and renewable energy power plants, such as wind and solar power plants. Because of the fluctuation in the output of solar and wind power plants, an empirical probabilistic model is developed to predict their hourly out...

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...

The minimum up/down time constraints of the thermal units expose them to the risk of operating at low benefits or even at loss at some periods. Also participants with renewable energy sources (RES) are at risk due to their uncertain resources. Energy trading in day-ahead energy market is already risky due to undecided energy and imbalance prices and load demand, whereas participation of RES mak...

Executive Summary Electric-drive vehicles can become an important resource for the California electric utility system, with consequent air pollution, system reliability, and economic benefits. We refer to electric power resources from vehicles as "Vehicle to Grid" power (V2G). The economic value of some forms of V2G appear high, more than enough to offset the initially higher costs of electric-...

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...

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...

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...

The gradual shift towards cleaner and green energy sources requires the application of electric vehicles (EVs) as mainstream transportation platform. vehicle-to-grid (V2G) shows promise in optimizing power demand, shaping load variation, increasing sustainability smart grids. However, no comprehensive paper has been compiled regarding operation V2G types, current ratings types EV sells market, ...

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are a rapidly growing technology which can lower greenhouse-gas emissions in the transport and energy sectors. The EV batteries discharge stored back to grid, also known as Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) support integration of variable distributed renewable generation. Previous research identified financial barriers implementation V2G, however, recent advancements battery present...

Lithium-ion batteries on electric vehicles have been increasingly deployed for the enhancement of grid reliability and integration renewable energy, while users are concerned about extra battery degradation caused by vehicle-to-grid (V2G) operations. This paper details a multi-year cycling study commercial 24 Ah pouch with Li(NiMnCo)O2 (NCM) cathode, varying average state charge (SOC), depth di...
