Abstract

Nowadays renewable energy sources (RESs) are incrementally penetrated in power systems. Due to the intermittent nature of the RES production, more energy storage systems for power system stability are needed. The existing potentials of electric vehicles’ (EVs) batteries for storing energy to provide regulation services in power systems (vehicle to grid (V2G)) have recently been considered. In this chapter, a smart decentralized V2G control scheme based on droop control is proposed to participate plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) in primary frequency control (PFC). The proposed scheme satisfies the primary objectives of the V2G control which includes scheduled charging, preventing the EV battery from overcharging and overdischarging, and as much as possible use of the maximum capacity of the PEV in the PFC. Simulations are implemented on a sample power system in which the RESs supply a significant portion of the power production. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated in the presence of different loads.
