Fossil energy consumption and environmental protection issues have pushed electric vehicles (EVs) to become one of the alternatives to traditional fossil-fuel vehicles. EV refers to a vehicle that uses electric energy as power and is driven by an electric motor. The electric energy of EVs is stored in batteries. When the EV is not traveling, the battery can provide power for other loads. Therefore, with the increase in the number of EVs and the load of the power grid, the EV-to-grid (V2G) mode, which uses EVs to supply power to the power grid, has gradually entered the field of vision of researchers. The physical connection mode, charge and discharge technology, and energy management strategy are the main topics of the current review papers; however, there is a lack of systematic research on V2G modeling, framework, and business models. This paper describes the concepts of the spatio-temporal distribution model and the adjustable capacity of EVs. In addition, common constraints and methods in optimization are introduced. Moreover, this paper introduces the interactive relationship among power grids, load aggregators, and EV users. Furthermore, the business model of V2G is introduced and analyzed from various perspectives. Finally, the future development of V2G is pointed out. This paper’s goal is to provide an overview of the present V2G application scenarios and to identify any challenges that must be overcome.

The integration of renewable energy sources (RES) and electric vehicles (EVs) into microgrids (MGs) has significant potential for enhancing energy resilience, addressing environmental concerns, and promoting decentralized energy systems as a global shift towards sustainable energy solutions. Therefore, this survey paper provides a comprehensive discussion on improving MG operation through EV integration. This study evaluates the status of EV integration into MGs, focusing on technological advancements, and emerging trends, while pinpointing key technical challenges and opportunities. Furthermore, this paper examines the pivotal role of EVs in participating in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services, providing ancillary support to improve MG performance. The importance of a reliable communication infrastructure for information exchange between EV, EV charging stations (EVCSs), and MG has been emphasized for the effective implementation of V2G services. This discussion extends to the contributions of EVs to primary, secondary, and tertiary MG controls. The paper also analyzes the integration of EVs into AC and DC MGs and further proposes configurations for both MG cases. Finally, the paper concludes by providing recommendations for future research to unlock the full potential of EV contributions to MG performance, thereby contributing to the ongoing advancement of sustainable and resilient energy systems. The key findings of this work include solutions for MG voltage and frequency regulation implemented through EV bidirectional converter power flow control, EV charger configurations for integration into AC and DC, EV contributions in improving the MG's operational resilience and adaptability, and the noteworthy challenges arising from V2G implementation in such systems.INDEX TERMS electric vehicle charging, microgrids, renewable energy sources, vehicle-to-grid
