Grid Interactive Charging Control for Plug-in Electric Vehicles

Abstract

This paper describes technical solutions to be adopted by Electric Vehicles (EV) battery grid interfaces in order to get the provision of ancillary services to the grid. The developed solution exploits a load battery charge control approach based in local fast grid cooperative response to frequency or voltage deviations. In a scenario characterized by a massive deployment of EV, the adoption of such a solution allows an improvement on the power system dynamic behaviour, namely in small island grids or MicroGrids operated in islanded mode.
