Review on Vehicle-to-Grid Systems: The Most Recent Trends and Smart Grid Interaction Technologies

Recently, significant advances have been seen in the study and development of electric vehiclesand related technologies. These developments drive both the rapid increase in the appeal ofelectric vehicles as well as the efforts towards the creation of systems that will support, controland manage their widespread use. The vehicle-to-grid (V2G) concept, combined with smart gridtechnologies, offers an optimal system for the realization of the benefits offered to users, utilities,economics and the environment by electric vehicles. As electric vehicles are steadily gaining amore significant presence in the transportation scene of our day, a review of the vehicle-to-gridconcept and application, as well as a discussion of relevant current and future perspectives is ofgreat importance. It is equally important to gain an understanding of the V2G system effects onpower quality and the methods by which related issues can be addressed. This review presentscomprehensive and current information regarding these topics to provide further insight into thisfascinating field of technology.
