Microgrid Energy Optimization and Realization by Means of Plug-in Electric Vehicles in both V2G - G2V Environment

In recent years, the need for electricity for each home is rapidly increasing due to the number of inventions in electric appliances and electric vehicles being so high. The fast-growing gated community apartments and villas want their own microgrids to meet the needs of their own residents. In Electric Vehicles, Bi-directional power flow is made feasible by the power electronics used in the rechargeable batteries. Therefore, electric vehicles are considered as grid’s power bank Storing excess power in electric vehicle (EV) batteries through Grid-To-Vehicle (G2V) technology and returning the energy back to the grid through Vehicle-To-Grid (V2G) technology while demand is at its maximum can aid in the management of micro-grid energy. This research review analysis the architectural framework and control mechanisms to develop hierarchical energy management for energy sharing among V2G and G2V in terms of simulation. It uses fast EV charging in a microgrid. A dc speedy charging point is designed as part of a trial micro-grid system for connecting EVs. V2G-G2V power transfer, DC Bus voltage, Battery SOC and Battery Voltage and Current is demonstrated through simulation.
