As the light vehicle fleet moves to electric drive (hybrid, battery, and fuel cell vehicles), an opportunity opens for “vehicle-to-grid” (V2G) power. This article defines the three vehicle types that can produce V2G power, and the power markets they can sell into. V2G only makes sense if the vehicle and power market are matched. For example, V2G appears to be unsuitable for baseload power—the c...

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) technology shows great interest in the recent scientific literatures. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is a interconnection of energy storage of PHEVs and grid. By implementation of V2G dependencies of the power system on small expensive conventional units can be reduced, resulting in reduced operational cost. This paper represents an intelligent unit commitment (UC...

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 ...

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 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...

Motivated by climate, health and economic considerations, alternatively-fueled bus fleets have emerged worldwide. Two popular alternatives are compressed natural gas (CNG) and electric vehicles. The latter provides the opportunity to generate revenue through vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services if properly equipped. This analysis conducts a robust accounting of the costs of diesel, CNG and battery-el...

Fuel expenses, diesel exhaust health externalities, and climate change are concerns that encourage the use of electric vehicles. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) policies provide additional economic incentives. This analysis evaluates the costs and benefits associated with the use of electric vehicles and determines the cost effectiveness of using a V2G-capable electric school bus compared to a traditiona...

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...
