| description | This paper introduces a new bidirectional vehicle-to-grid (V2G) control strategy for energy management of V2G charging points equipped with photovoltaic systems (PVs), considering the interaction between V2G chargers, electric vehicle (EV) owners, and the network operator. The proposed method aims to minimize peak load, grid infeed power, feeder loading, and transformer loading by scheduling EVs charging and discharging. The simulation experiments take into account three EV battery capacities as well as two levels of EV penetration. In order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, five scenarios are studied in a single feeder of a low-voltage (LV) distribution network in DIgSILENT PowerFactory, which comprises a combination of residential and commercial loads as well as PV systems. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed V2G strategy improves the paper’s objectives by providing ancillary services to the grid. |
