Vehicle-to-Grid Technology in Power Distribution Systems explores how electric vehicles can transform energy systems beyond mobility, enabling greater grid flexibility and resilience through Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology. While the potential is enormous, realizing it requires overcoming significant technical, economic, social, and legal challenges. Progress in grid planning and operation, power electronics and control, communication networks, and charging infrastructure is essential to make V2G a reality.
Written for researchers, engineers, solution providers, and policymakers, this book examines the intersection of V2G infrastructure and power distribution systems. Drawing on global insights and recent developments, it offers a comprehensive view of the opportunities, risks, and future directions of EV-grid integration.
Topics include:
-
Adoption of EVs and V2G in existing grids
-
EVs for demand-side management and grid balancing
-
Transactive energy management with V2G
-
Bi-directional charging technologies and architectures
-
Market landscapes and deployment in Europe
-
Microgrid-based V2G-enabled charging stations
-
Emerging charging technologies and applications of V2G
-
Legislative and regulatory frameworks shaping V2G adoption
A timely and authoritative reference, this book is an essential resource for those working at the forefront of electric mobility, intelligent transport systems, and smart grids.
