Electric vehicles (EV) are emerging as the future transportation vehicle reflecting their potential safe environmental advantages. Vehicle to Grid (V2G) system describes the hybrid system in which the EV can communicate with the utility grid and the energy flows with insignificant effect between the utility grid and the EV. The paper presents an optimal power control and energy management strategy for Plug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV) charging stations using Wind-PV-FC-Battery renewable energy sources. The energy management optimization is structured and solved using Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) to determine and distribute at each time step the charging power among all accessible vehicles. The Model-Based Predictive (MPC) control strategy is used to plan PEV charging energy to increase the utilization of the wind, the FC and solar energy, decrease power taken from the power grid, and fulfil the charging power requirement of all vehicles. Desired features for EV battery chargers such as the near unity power factor with negligible harmonics for the ac source, well-regulated charging current for the battery, maximum output power, high efficiency, and high reliability are fully confirmed by the proposed solution.

Whilst vehicle-to-every (V2X) is still at a research and development phase, we are nearing the point when this technology could begin to enter in commercial mass markets. However, this transition is unlikely to happen until a number of issues have been resolved which currently hinder the developing of V2X technology and its capacity to provide value to end-users and other actors. This roadmap has set out plan for how these issues may be overcome, based on eight key goals that the automotive industry, network operators and policy makers should aim to achieve. Suggestions for near-term activities that may be carried out towards meeting these goals have also been identified.

Recently, research on the smart grid that combines ICT(Information & Communication technology) to the power system has been actively progressed. If the occupancy of the EV(Electric vehicle) is increased. the V2G(Vehicle to grid) system is available which constitutes the micro-grid through battery of EV. V2G system performs load leveling and efficient energy consumption by battery operation considering load condition. But, if the battery is used only depending on the electricity rates, it doses not consider the life of the battery. The ACC(Achievable cycle) and the total transferable energy of battery varies corresponding to the selected DOD(Depth of discharge). In this paper, the optimal DOD selection method of V2G system considering battery wear cost and average driving distance of EV. Also, the total revenue prediction of various nation is presented considering the actual electricity costs per hour.

In this paper a high efficiency bidirectional resonant converterfor Vehicle-to-Grid applications (V2G) is proposed.The proposed converter has adopted an LC auxiliary circuit in the third winding of the transformer. With the proposed method full softswitching can be ensured in all switches over a wide range of loadsand the secondary ringing can be removed with no additional snubber or clamp circuitry.In addition, since the proposed resonant converter is able to operate at an almost constant resonant frequencyregardless of the load, CC/CV charge of the battery can be simply implemented with high efficiency. A 3.3 kW bidirectional converter for On-Board Charger of Electric Vehicle is implemented to verify the validity of the proposed method. The experimental results show the high efficiency characteristics of the proposed converter over the wide range of load in both charge and discharge mode. The maximum efficiency of the proposed system was 98.13 % at 2.3 kW during the constant voltage mode charge operation.

The concept known as Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) is to provide power to help balance loads by charging at night when demand is low and sending power to the grid when demand is high. Therefore, it is important to model the cost-benefit characteristics of Electric vehicle(EV)'s operation considering the negawatt market in real time. This paper proposes a methodology to formulate the various costs and economic benefits for sending the EV's power back to the grid, including a concept of inconvenience costs caused by operating the EV as a battery. This paper also introduces the general decision-making process based on the cost-benefit analysis in order to simulate the reasonable participation of V2G service. In the case study, it is confirmed by two-case simulations that the proposed approach is useful to help EV owners' decision-making. In the future, it is expected that the proposed methodology can be used as a decision-making guideline to help prepare the EV' power transmission.

Recently, as interest in eco-friendliness grows, the supply of hybrid electric vehicles and pure electric vehicles (EVs) for improving fuel efficiency of automobiles is rapidly expanding. The average daily energy consumption of electric vehicles is less than 20 [%] of the total ESS capacity of the vehicle, and research on additional functions using the ESS of the vehicle is urgently needed to expand the supply of electric vehicles. V2H(Vehicle to Home), like V2G(Vehicle to Grid), includes the concept of cooperating with system stabilization using ESS of electric vehicles. In addition, it includes various operations that can realize home welfare, such as uninterrupted power supply in case of power outage at home, and power supply for home DC devices. Therefore, in order to expand the supply of eco-friendly electric vehicles, it is urgently required to develop a V2H system with various functions that can realize home welfare. In this paper, we propose a V2H system with a CLLC resonant converter and a non-isolated step-up converter that can solve different impedance and resonant frequencies depending on the power transfer direction. The proposed V2H system is 6 [kVA] applicable to 150-450 [V], the voltage range that can use the ESS voltage for electric vehicles, and is designed with a capacity that can handle instantaneous electricity use at home. In addition, in order to verify the feasibility, an experiment by Psim simulation and prototype production was performed.

DC 배전은 분산전원의 연계 효율이 높기 때문에 신재생 에너지의 발전과 함께 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히 배터리를 포함하는 전기자동차는 계통으로 전력을 공급함에 따라 피크 부하 감쇄 및 전력 평준화를 이룰 수 있으며, 고가의 에너지 저장장치(ESS)를 대체할 수 있어 관심이 집중되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 바이폴 DC 배전에 적합한 V2G(Vehicle to Grid) 양방향 토폴로지를 제안하였고, V2G 를 활용하여 계통 전압을 개선할 수 있었다. 제안된 기술은 PSCAD/EMTDC 시뮬레이션을 통하여 효과를 검증하였다.

V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid)는 전기자동차 배터리에 저장된 전기를 전력판매사의 전력망을 통해 되파는 양방향 전력 전송 기술이다. V2G 시스템을 활용하는 전기자동차 운전자는 전기요금이 저렴한 심야에 충전한 뒤 출퇴근시 사용하고 남은 전력을 전력사용량이 많고 전기요금이 높은 주간에 판매하므로, 피크시 전력수급의 안정성이 향상된다. 이에 정부는 V2G 인프라 구축 및 지원 대책을 마련하면서 V2G 시스템에 대한 잠재적 소비자의 선호 정보를 요구하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 잠재적 소비자인 일반 국민 1,000명을 대상으로 한 일대일 개별면접 설문조사를 통해 수집된 자료를 수집하였다. 소비자의 선호를 분석하기 위해 경제학적 기법인 선택실험법을 적용한다. V2G 시스템의 속성으로 잔존 전력량, 전력 판매시간, 의무접속시간, 현행 차량가액에 추가하는 가격으로 평가된 지불의 사액이라는 4개를 고려하였다. 분석모형으로는 우선 다항로짓모형을 적용하였는데 '비관련 대안의 독립성' 가정이 위배되어, 이 가정을 요구하지 않는 중첩로짓모형을 최종적으로 적용하였다. 효용함수의 모든 추정계수는 유의수준 10%에서 통계적으로 유의하였다. 속성별 분석결과, 전력 판매가능시간이 1시간 증가하는 것에 대한 한계지불의사액(MWTP, marginal willingness to pay)은 1,601,057원이었다. 그러나 잔존 전력량이 1% 감소 및 의무접속시간 1시간 증가에 대한 MWTP는 각각 -91,911원 및 -470,619원으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 도출한 V2G 시스템에 대한 정량적인 소비자 선호 정보는 향후 V2G 시스템 도입 및 관리정책에 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.

전기자동차를 이용하여 계통에 전력을 공급하는 Vehicle to Grid(V2G)의 구현을 위한 통신표준으로 ISO/IEC 15118이 적용되고 있다. 통신 프로토콜에 기반을 두는 전기자동차의 충방전 제어 시에 필연적으로 충방전 실행까지의 시간지연이 발생하게 되는데, 이러한 시간지연은 전력 유연성 공급 측면에서 제한의 요인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 ISO/IEC 15118 기반 V2G 에뮬레이터를 구현하고 전기 자동차 충방전 제어에 따른 반응성을 확인하였다. 실험결과 시간지연은 0.12ms로 나타났으며, 이를 기반으로 현 표준 하에서 참여 가능한 전력 유연성 시장에 대하여 검토하였다.

This paper proposes a 3.3-kW bi-directional EV charger with V2G and V2H functions. The bi-directional EV charger consists of a DC-DC converter and a DC-AC inverter. The proposed EV charger is suitable for wide battery voltage control due to the two-stage configuration of the DC-DC converter. By employing a fixed-frequency series loaded resonant converter as the isolated DC-DC converter, zero-current-switching can be achieved regardless of battery voltage variation, load variation, and power flow. A 3.3-kW prototype of the proposed EV charger has been built and verified with experiments, and indicates a maximum efficiency of 94.39% and rated efficiency of 94.23%.
