Technology roadmap for smart electric vehicle-to-grid (V2G) of residential chargers

Abstract

Smart grid is defined as the overlaying of a unified communications and control system onto the existing power delivery infrastructure to provide the right information and the right entity at the right time. It helps even out demand spikes and uses resource mix more efficiently. It is a better integration, or "system balancing," of variable resources, like wind power. Many of the advanced applications of smart grid are expected to develop in an evolutionary manner based on current technologies available and the needs of the market, for example, electric vehicles (EVs) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). It is likely that we will see a simpler associated application (i.e., smart battery charger) before the market matures to support a more complex form of the application vehicle-to-grid (V2G). The objective of this paper is to develop a technology roadmapping (TRM) process for smart electric V2G technologies in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest (PNW). The research focuses on the application of V2G in the residential chargers. It introduces the market drivers, products, and technology analysis and also provides research on the necessary resources needed within R&D in the coming years (next 10 years). Background

Aggregator to Electric Vehicle LoRaWAN Based Communication Analysis in Vehicle-to-Grid Systems in Smart Cities

“…These features provide power grid stability insurance. Demand based analysis solutions have also been implemented to optimize and balance power grid operation [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

Innovation Needs for the Integration of Electric Vehicles into the Energy System

“…Three studies will be highlighted, which complement the innovation paths and recommendations presented here for action for the integration of EVs into the energy system. A v2g technology roadmap for residential charging, focused on the situation in the United States [57], supports the claim for smart charging infrastructures with standardised communication interfaces and integrated energy management. The study describes these technological aspects in detail while lacking an integrated view on the overall innovation system.…”

Benchmarking of Technology Roadmapping Process in Energy Sector: A Literature Review

“…Review of utilities indicates that R&D portfolio management has been an increasingly important function [5]. Traditional roadmaps from the energy sector [6]- [9] has been demonstrated in the literature. Integration of tools in new sectors have also been a part of the recent literature.…”
