This lesson covers the concept of Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technologies in the context of electric vehicles (EVs). It explains how V2G technology allows for the interchange of energy between the battery and the grid, benefiting both EV owners and the power system. The lesson also discusses the types of EVs that can be connected to the grid, the role of power aggregators, and the potential of V2G as a new business model. It further explores the applications of V2G technology in power systems, including peak shaving, voltage regulation, and reactive power compensation. The lesson concludes with a brief overview of the grid side converter and its role in V2G technology.
