Three versions:

V2G is a version of battery-to-grid power applied to vehicles. There are three main different versions of the vehicle-to-grid concept, all of which involve an onboard battery:

A hybrid or Fuel cell vehicle, which generates power from storable fuel, uses its generator to produce power for a utility at peak electricity usage times. Here the vehicles serve as a distributed generation system, producing power from conventional fossil fuels, biofuels or hydrogen

A battery-powered or plug-in hybrid vehicle which uses its excess rechargeable battery capacity to provide power to the electric grid in response to peak load demands. These vehicles can then be recharged during off-peak hours at cheaper rates while helping to absorb excess night time generation. Here the vehicles serve as a distributed battery storage system to buffer power

A solar vehicle which uses its excess charging capacity to provide power to the electric grid when the battery is fully charged.

V2G SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND POWER FLOW:

The components and power flow of a V2G system. The system consists of six major subsystems:

1) Energy resources and an electric utility

2) An independent system operator and aggregator

3) Charging infrastructure and locations

4) Two-way electrical energy flow and communication between each PEV and ISO or aggregator

5) On-board and off-board intelligent metering and control

6) The PEV itself with its battery charger and management.

REQUIREMENTS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF V2G/V2H:

1. Power Connection for electrical energy flow from vehicle to the grid

2. Control or logical connection, needed for the grid operator to determine the available capacity, request ancillary services or power from the vehicle and to meter the result

3. Precision certified metering onboard the vehicle.

APPLICATIONS OF V2G/V2H:

Peak load leveling:

The concept allows V2G vehicles to provide power to help balance loads by "valley filling" (charging at night when demand is low) and "peak shaving" (sending power back to the grid when demand is high). Peak load leveling can enable utilities new ways to provide regulation services (keeping voltage and frequency stable) and provide spinning reserves (meet sudden demands for power).

Peak power:

Peak power is typically generated by power plants that can be switched on for short periods.. V2G can provide peak power may be appropriate for this purpose , the required duration for peaking units can be 3-5 hours per day.. Electric vehicles can afford to provide power in peak period while consume power during the off peak period. This reduces the gap between the energy demand and balance in the power systems. Secondary advantages of peak shaving include reducing transmission congestion, line losses, delay transmission investments and reduce stressed operation of a power system.

Spinning Reserves:

Spinning reserves refer to the additional generating capacity that can provide power quickly to the grid operator generally within 10minutes upon the operators request . If the spinning reserve is called, the generator is paid an additional amount of money to energy that is actually delivered. The Electric vehicles normally incur only short periods of generating power typically 2 to 3 hours per day

Increase the energy efficiency of districts and of cities and foster the use of renewable and their integration energy system and enable active participation of customers. Increase mobility efficiency with lower emission of pollutants and CO2 Reduce the energy costs for e.g. Peak shaving

reduces the price of electricity during peak hours. Decarbonizes the energy system while making it more secure and stable. Trigger large scale economic investments with the repayment of implementation costs in acceptable time limits.

Social Impacts:

Reduction of energy bills for all actors and especially for citizens and public authorities.

Increase quality of life by creating local jobs

CHALLENGES TO VEHICLE-TO-GRID CONCEPT:

Although V2G systems have many benefits, increasing the number of PEVs may impact power distribution system dynamics and performance through overloading of transformers, cables, and feeders. This reduces efficiency, may require additional generator starts, and produces voltage deviations and harmonics. The greatest challenges to a V2G transition are battery technology and the high initial costs compared to ICE vehicles.

1. Massive Introduction of electric vehicles can significantly reduce the CO2 emissions. On the other side the integration of Renewable Energy Sources in the existing conventional grid causes some technical constraints in the grid, especially issues Concerning Power Quality. At present there is no such system for Integrating EV in the conventional electric grids

2. The most important barrier to the spread of electric propulsion from the point of view of electric variables are voltage and current, frequency and connections to the vehicle

3.Two-way communication (“ Smart charging”) system between utility and PEV’s are needed to be implemented to shift the charging of PEV’s completely to off -peak periods .
