Impact of Grid-tied Battery to Grid (B2G) Technology for Electric Vehicles Battery Swapping Station

The increasing adoption of electric vehicles strains the grid. Implementing Battery Swapping Station (BSS) technology with distributed energy resources is a possible approach to alleviating this strain. Conventional grid-powered BSS confronts difficulties such as high electricity costs, grid instability, carbon emissions, etc., and BSS integrated with a microgrid may emerge as a promising solution for addressing these challenges. This technology will enable BSS to recharge batteries by utilizing distributed energy resources (DER), reduce the charging time for electric vehicles, and act as a microgrid power source for emergencies. This will assist in demand balancing and grid stability within the grid network. This paper assesses the effects of microgrid-based Battery to Grid (B2G) technology with BSS battery storage. The objective is to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of B2G between microgrids and BSS, as well as its impact on the overall grid's stability and performance, along with the optimization of the power flow analysis. The result demonstrates that the integration of BSS with microgrids has the potential to provide substantial benefits for both Electric Vehicles (EVs) and the grid. BSS can play a crucial role in the future of transportation and energy with appropriate planning and implementation.
