Modeling the energy features of a vehicle-to-home system to provide user-specific technical requirements

The combined management of vehicle-to-home and distributed generation can provide several benefits. Costs and benefits would differ depending on the technical requirements and the utilization profiles. In this study we use the EVLS model to simulate and analyze the dynamics that would occur in a hypothetical household provided with a vehicle-to-home system and a rooftop photovoltaic plant. The aim is to understand how different surrounding conditions can impact on specific technical requirements. The model shows to be instrumental for the purpose and the results indicates that, depending on the case, no additional benefits might exist when increasing the capacity of the battery and the vehicle-home connection over certain values.
