Enhancing Electric Vehicle Hosting Capacity
through Vehicle-to-
Grid Integration in
Distribution Networks
Vehicle-to-Grid ( V2G ) integration has the potential to enhance the hosting capacity of Electric Vehicle ( EVs ) in distribution networks . By linking EVs to the distribution networks , V2G technology allows bidirectional power flow and enables active participants in the energy ecosystem and grid . This transformative capability drives the transport electrification process toward net zero emissions . |
Competitive Advantage • V2G integration offers a stakeholder-oriented solution for enhancing Electric Vehicle hosting capabilities in distribution networks
• By enabling active participation and stakeholdercentric management for DER in distribution networks , the capability will foster the adoption rate for transport electrification
Impact • V2G integration impacts stakeholders , such as distribution network operators and EV users – this process will enhance the EV hosting capacity of distribution networks by integrating solar photovoltaic and V2G technologies
• Research contributing to sustainable transport electrification through increased grid reliability and management of active network operation during large-scale penetration
