Principles of Bidirectional Charging and V2G

EasyChair Preprint 14420

Abstract

The rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has brought about the need for more advanced charging technologies that can effectively integrate these vehicles with the electrical grid. Bidirectional charging, also known as Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), is an emerging concept that enables the two-way flow of electricity between EVs and the grid. This abstract outlines the key principles and fundamentals of bidirectional charging and the V2G concept.

Bidirectional charging systems allow EV batteries to not only receive electricity for charging but also discharge electricity back to the grid. This capability can provide various benefits, such as grid balancing, peak shaving, and increased integration of renewable energy sources. The technical aspects of bidirectional charging systems involve power conversion, communication, and coordination between the EVs and the grid.

Keyphrases: Advancements in battery technology, Diversification of V2G services, Emergence of V2G-as-a-Service models, Increased standardization and interoperability, Integration with renewable energy systems
