It is essential to estimate how much power can be delivered from vehicles to grid, called achievable power capacity (APC), for practical vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) services. We propose a method of estimating the APC in a probabilistic manner. Its probability distribution is obtained from the normal approximation to the binomial distribution, and hence represented with two parameters, i.e., mean and ...

This work provides an overview on current efforts for communication between interconnected electric vehicles and supply equipments also known as Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) communication. Such efforts are core enablers for electric vehicles being used for demand side management. Hence this work investigates the ability to adapt the EV charging process in near real-time in case of grid violations thro...

Vehicle to grid (V2G) network is a crucial part of smart grid. An electric vehicle (EV) in a V2G network uses electricity instead of gasoline, and this benefits the environment and helps mitigate the energy crisis. By using its battery capacity, the vehicle can serve temporarily as a distributed energy storage system to mitigate peak load of the power grid. However, the two-way communication an...

This paper presents a new multi-function conversion technique for vehicle-to-grid (V2G) applications. The proposed bi-directional charger can achieve three functions, including EV battery charging, grid-connection and reactive compensation, which are keys for energy management of the grid. With the proposed multi-function technology, the bi-directional charger will benefit both the grid and ele...

With the development of battery vehicles, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) networks are becoming more and more important in smart grid. Although battery vehicles are environmentally friendly and flexible to use two-way communication and two-way electricity flow, they also raise privacy-preservation challenges, such as location and movement privacy. On the one hand, utility companies have to monitor the gr...

Due to the limited availability of fuel resources, there is an urgent need for converting to use renewable sources efficiently. To achieve this, power consumers should participate actively in power production and consumption. Consumers nowadays can produce power and consume a portion of it locally, and then could offer the rest of the power to the grid. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) which is one of the...

Plug-in electrical vehicles (PEV) are capable of both grid-to-vehicle (G2V) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) power transfer. The advantages of developing V2G include an additional revenue stream for cleaner vehicles, increased stability and reliability of the electric grid, lower electric system costs, and eventually, inexpensive storage and backup for renewable electricity. Here we show how smart con...
