Load shedding mitigation through plug-in electric Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) system

Electric vehicle batteries have massive energy storage capacity and can potentially utilize also as backup power supply for home loads during load shedding or blackout. Additionally, solar energy can be utilized to charge plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) to further enhance the backup power for home loads. In this work, a fuzzy logic inference system is utilized for efficient power management and utilization of V2H. It imitates the decision-making process of charging/discharging of the PEV battery through priority decision making of power management and emergency backup power supply of a typical home in developing countries like India.
