Estimation of cost savings from participation of electric vehicles in vehicle to grid(V2G)schemes

The storage capacity of the batteries in an electric vehicle(EV)could be utilised to store electrical energy and give it back to the grid when needed by participating in vehicle to grid(V2G)schemes.This participation could be a source of revenue for vehicle owners thus reducing the total charging cost of their EVs.A V2G simulator has been developed using MATLAB to find out the potential cost saving from participation of EVs in V2G schemes.A standard IEEE30 network has been modelled in the simulator which uses the MATPOWER engine to undertake power flow analysis.A novel control algorithm has been developed to take advantage of the difference between the selling and buying electricity prices by charging and discharging EVs at the appropriate time.Two scenarios are simulated to compare the total charging cost of EVs with or without the utilisation of V2G technology within the power system assuming a total of 5000 EVs.The results of the simulation show that the applied control strategy with V2G is able to reduce the charging cost of EVs by 13.6%while satisfying the minimum requirement for state of charge(SoC)of the EV batteries to complete their next journey.

Central Aggregator Intrusion Detection System for Denial of Service Attacks

Vehicle-to-grid technology is an emerging field that allows unused power from Electric Vehicles(EVs)to be used by the smart grid through the central aggregator.Since the central aggregator is connected to the smart grid through a wireless network,it is prone to cyber-attacks that can be detected and mitigated using an intrusion detection system.However,existing intrusion detection systems cannot be used in the vehicle-to-grid network because of the special requirements and characteristics of the vehicle-to-grid network.In this paper,the effect of denial-of-service attacks of malicious electric vehicles on the central aggregator of the vehicle-to-grid network is investigated and an intrusion detection system for the vehicle-to-grid network is proposed.The proposed system,central aggregator–intrusion detection system(CA-IDS),works as a security gateway for EVs to analyze andmonitor incoming traffic for possible DoS attacks.EVs are registered with a Central Aggregator(CAG)to exchange authenticated messages,and malicious EVs are added to a blacklist for violating a set of predefined policies to limit their interaction with the CAG.A denial of service(DoS)attack is simulated at CAG in a vehicle-to-grid(V2G)network manipulating various network parameters such as transmission overhead,receiving capacity of destination,average packet size,and channel availability.The proposed system is compared with existing intrusion detection systems using different parameters such as throughput,jitter,and accuracy.The analysis shows that the proposed system has a higher throughput,lower jitter,and higher accuracy as compared to the existing schemes.

Charging infrastructure planning for electric vehicle in India:Present status and future challenges

The challenge to deal with environmental contamination along with national goals such as energy security,reliability,and self-dependency due to depleting fossil fuel resources has motivated researchers to find an alternate solution in the transport sector.Due to this,electrification of the transport sector has become an achievable solution that has caught attention with increasing penetration in the market share.India is a participant in the Paris Agreement which aims to curtail the production of greenhouse gases and limit the escalating temperature.Public intervention and changes in policy and regulations are the key aspects of technological transition.Compared to internal combustion engine(ICE)-based vehicles,the consumers’frame of mind concerns about adapting to e-mobility is anxiety over charging times and driving range.Thus,the development of charging stations plays a crucial role in promoting electric vehicles(EVs).This study investigates to identify different barriers that exist in the Indian context related to the adoption of e-mobility.Furthermore,this work emphasizes the recent developments in charging infrastructure planning in India.Also,the status of installed charging stations is examined.Developing appropriate charging stations are associated with several challenges,which are also highlighted to provide guidance to public and private entities that can be adopted in their respective business model.As India has the second largest population and is the seventh largest country in the world,the EV adoption rate of India is considerably low compared to other countries;for India,there is a long way to match the growth rate of EV adoption.Hence it becomes essential to develop a robust and suitable charging infrastructure to promote the sale and use of EVs in India.

Power Quality Improvement and Signal Conditioning of PV Array and Grid Interfaced Off-board Charger for Electric Vehicles with V2G and G2V Capabilities

In this work,we present a photovoltaic(PV)-based off-board charging system integrated with the grid using a voltage source converter(VSC).The control of the grid-tied off-board charger is derived from the joint logarithmic hyperbolic cosine robust sparse adaptive filter(JLHCAF)algorithm.This algorithm effectively tracks the fundamental component of the load current in a short duration,providing a good dynamic response.Due to its robustness against impulsive interference,the JLHCAF outperforms other sparsity-aware robust algorithms The cascaded proportional-integral(PI)controller is used to control the bidirectional buck-boost converter for electric vehicle(EV)charging/discharging,which acts in buck operation if the EV is being charged and in boost operation if it is discharged.The reference DC link voltage for the controller is derived by using adaptive MPPT technique.The bidirectional properties of the system enable various functions,including grid-to-vehicle(G2V),vehicle-to-grid(V2G),PV source-to-grid(PV2G),vehicle-to-home(V2H),and PV source-to-vehicle(PV2V)operations.Additionally,the system can supply power to critical nonlinear loads.The control strategy ensures compliance with the power quality requirements set by the IEEE standard,as demonstrated in the results.To validate the effectiveness of the proposed system,we conducted tests under dynamic conditions by disconnecting and reconnecting household loads.Furthermore,the off-board charging system was subjected to actual conditions,such as variations in solar PV insolation,and its steady-state performance was evaluated through simulation and laboratory experimental prototypes.The results,including total harmonic distortion(THD),support the validation of the developed charging system.

The effect of electric vehicle energy storage on the transition to renewable energy

The most viable path to alleviate the Global Climate Change is the substitution of fossil fuel power plants for electricity generation with renewable energy units.This substitution requires the development of very large energy storage capacity,with the inherent thermodynamic irreversibility of the storage-recovery process.Currently,the world experiences a significant growth in the numbers of electric vehicles with large batteries.A fleet of electric vehicles is equivalent to an efficient storage capacity system to supplement the energy storage system of the electricity grid.Calculations based on the hourly demand-supply data of ERCOT,a very large electricity grid,show that a fleet of electric vehicles cannot provide all the needed capacity and the remaining capacity must be met by hydrogen.Even though the storage capacity of the batteries is close to 1–2%of the needed storage capacity of the grid,the superior round-trip storage efficiency of batteries reduces the energy dissipation associated with the storage and recovery processes by up to 38%and the total hydrogen storage capacity by up to 50%.The study also shows that anticipated improvements in the round-trip efficiencies of batteries are almost three times more effective than improvements in hydrogen storage systems.
