On-board Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) integrator for power transaction in smart grid environment

Abstract

The growing oil demands and the economic concerns have inspired the governments, car manufactures and the environmentalist to promote the manufacturing of Electrical Vehicles (EV). With developments in the power grid and advancements in the vehicle technology the EVs can contribute to the grid by selling or buying power from the grid. For the effective and efficient use of the V2G there is a major scope to develop the V2G integrators like On-Board and Off-Board. In this paper the On-Board V2G integrator is proposed and is modeled using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The conversion efficiency of 90% is obtained and the benefits of V2G are listed. © 2014 IEEE.
