Vehicle-to-Grid (v2g)

Electric vehicle (EV) is one of the most important keys which could solve energy crisis (gasoline) and environmental problem (green house gas) in the future. The advantage of EV is not only to use green energy (electricity) and provide zero emission, but also be able to help expansion of wind power. The U.S. nation focuses on renewable energy, especially the wind generation and it will be highly increased in the near future. The penetration of wind generations which unpredicted the wind strength affects on power distribution systems. The fluctuation of energy output from the generations degrades the quality of systems. Integration of EVs can mitigate those problems. However, EVs could have disruptive impact on the power distribution system because odd harmonics that are generated from EV charging devices. Then some managements and controlling such as economic operation and harmonic treatment are going to be stated to eliminate or mitigate those problems.
