Description
Electric vehicles offer more than just transportation; they hold the key to a more resilient energy grid. Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology makes this possible, but significant technical, economic, social, and legal challenges stand in the way. This requires advancements in grid planning and operation, power electronics and control, communication, and charging infrastructure. The race is on to maximize the benefits of V2G while minimizing the risks.
Vehicle-to-Grid Technology in Power Distribution Systems is written for researchers and experts interested in EV-grid integration, solution providers for EV charging and power grid operation and planning, as well as experts in intelligent transport systems and policymakers. It investigates the lessons learned about the connection between V2G infrastructure and the distribution grid. After an introduction to V2G, chapters cover the adoption of EV and V2G in existing grids, EVs for demand side management, transactive EV management with V2G, bi-directional charging technologies, market landscapes in Europe, microgrid-based V2G-enabled charging stations, and emerging EV charging technologies and V2G applications, as well as legislative and regulatory effects.
