Abstract

As a result of the recent energy crisis and concerns about the state of the environment, more people are opting for electric vehicles over the more typical internal combustion engine vehicle. This article provides a comprehensive overview of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology and assesses the effects of EV charging schemes on electrical grids. This research proves that vehicles with the capability of a V2G application provide a number of benefits, including active and reactive power regulation, harmonic suppression, and load balancing. In particular, the effects of EVs are explored in depth, as they vary depending on their penetration levels and charging characteristics. Moreover, our research demonstrates that different charging and vehicle aggregation procedures have a substantial influence on the economic benefits of V2G technology.
