Abstract:The integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into vehicle-to-grid (V2G) scheduling offers a promising opportunity to enhance the profitability of multi-energy microgrid operators (MMOs). MMOs aim to maximize their total profits by coordinating V2G scheduling and multi-energy flexible loads of end-users while adhering to operational constraints. However, scheduling V2G strategies online poses challenges due to uncertainties such as electricity prices and EV arrival/departure patterns. To address this, we propose … Show more
This paper presents a groundbreaking control strategy for a bidirectional battery charger that allows power to be injected into the smart grid while simultaneously compensating for the grid’s reactive power using an electric vehicle battery. An artificial neural network (ANN) controller is utilized for precise design to ensure optimal performance with minimal error. The ANN technique is applied to generate sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) for a bidirectional AC–DC inverter, with the entire algorithm simulated in MATLAB Simulink.The core innovation of this study is the creation of the ANN algorithm, which supports grid compensation using electric vehicle batteries, an approach termed “vehicle-for-grid”. Additionally, the paper details the PCB circuit design of the system controlled by the DSP F28379D board, which was tested on a three-phase motor. The total harmonic distortion (THD) of the proposed ANN algorithm is approximately 1.85%, compared to the MPC algorithm’s THD of about 2.85%. This indicates that the proposed algorithm is more effective in terms of the quality of the power injected into the grid. Furthermore, it demonstrates effective grid compensation, with the reactive power effectively neutralized to 0KVAR in the vehicle-for-grid mode.
