Smart charging and V2G Prof. Dr. Pavol Bauer, Delft University of Technology
Learning Objectives • What is smart charging and vehicle-to-grid (V2G)? • Why do we need smart charging? • What are the advantages and disadvantages of V2G? • In which cases can smart charging can be applied?
Definition Smart charging is a series of intelligent functionalities to control the EV charging power in order to create a flexible, sustainable, low cost and efficient charging environment.
Benefits of smart charging • Increase the flexibility of charging • Higher utilization rates of fixed assets • Efficient utilization of energy in distribution network • Make electric vehicles more sustainable • Provide new revenue streams to EV owners
V2X
V2G • Using the electric vehicle battery to feed power back to the grid using a bidirectional EV charger • V2G = Vehicle to Grid • V2H = Vehicle to Home V2X • V2B = Vehicle to Building • V2L = Vehicle to Load • ..........
V2x advantages and challenges J Storage for renewables K Bidirectional charger J Reduce peak demand K Battery degradation J Emergency power K ICT infrastructure J Ancillary services K Standardization and regulatory framework K Lack of incentives for user
V2X • AC charging: Bidirectional on-board EV charger • DC charging: Bidirectional off-board EV charger
Applications of Smart charging
Example applications of smart charging • Local load balancing • Adjust charging time/power according to load • Balance multiple charge points with priority • Renewable energy utilization • Price based charging V2G • Peak shaving • Grid back up
