“…This approach does not require any complex communication infrastructure and expensive metering equipment unlike most smart solutions. In fact, measuring the frequency at your home or office can be done using a small PIC microcontroller [23], that can also be used to govern the power exchange between the electric vehicle and the grid.…”

Plug-in electrical vehicles (PEV) are capable of both grid-to-vehicle (G2V) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) power transfer. The advantages of developing V2G include an additional revenue stream for cleaner vehicles, increased stability and reliability of the electric grid, lower electric system costs, and eventually, inexpensive storage and backup for renewable electricity. Here we show how smart control of PEVs can improve the stability of power grids using only local frequency measurements. We evaluate the proposed control strategy on the IEEE Case 3 and the IEEE New England power systems. The results show that V2G leads to improved steady-state stability, larger region of stability, reduced frequency and voltage fluctuations during transients and longer critical clearing times.
