Recent Challenges in Vehicle to Grid Integrated Renewable Energy System: A Review

The electricity and transportation industries are the main sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission on the earth. Renewable Energy Sources (RES) like solar and wind can reduce emissions from electrical power plants and are an alternate source to meet the ever-growing power demand. However, these renewable energy sources are limited and intermittent. Electrical Vehicles (EVs) are the promising solution for enhancing the penetration of renewable energies to the grid. EVs are used to balance out the power fluctuations/mismatch caused by high penetration of renewable energy sources by charging as well as discharging. The V2G concept can improve the performance and efficiency of the grid along with providing ancillary services. To draw the attention of the researchers, this paper presents a detailed review based on the recent challenges for V2G integrated RES.
