Abstract

This paper evaluated the capability of the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) to provide frequency regulation in a micro grid system. To begin with, the impact of sudden increase of residential peak load due to the Electric Vehicle charging load is investigated. Then the Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Charging Load Profile (PHEVCLP) is generated based on real the data taken from National Household Travel Survey 2017. In this project, the model of V2G in a micro grid system is developed and analyzed using MATLAB software. The results show that the integration of PHEV on a micro grid has an impact on peak load and system frequency. Moreover, the rise of the total number of PHEVs penetration has a significant impact on system frequency. The percentage of improvement in system frequency as V2G system implemented increased as the charger power level increased. It can be concluded that V2G on a micro grid improved and regulated system frequency.
