Theoretical implementation of V2G in MATLAB : A study about limiting power peaks at Studenternas IP

In Uppsala, there has been grid congestion in the electricity grid because of thegrowing demand for electricity in the region over the past ten years. This study aimsto explore the possibilities of using V2G as a solution to this problem. V2G isimplemented as a type of energy resource using the electric car's battery to supplythe property with electricity. In this way, the power peaks created may be reduced.This report aims to examine three different scenarios. The scenarios are simulated inMATLAB. Each scenario has different values for the significant factors such as thebattery size, the number of electric cars parked, and the charge and discharge speeds.The first scenario reflects the situation today, while the other scenarios explorescenarios of future vehicle fleets. This study shows that V2G is a theoretically feasibleresource for peak-power shaving for commercial properties in the future.Furthermore, the result shows that even with today's battery sizes and levels ofelectric cars in the vehicle fleet V2G can theoretically be implemented successfully.Further discussions regarding the future implementation of V2G and what is requiredboth socially and financially are also addressed shortly
