Abstract
Several European projects on smart grids are
considering Electric Vehicles (EVs) as active element in future
power systems. Both battery-powered vehicles and plug-in
hybrid vehicles are expected to interact with the grid, sharing
their energy storage capacity. Different coordination concepts
for EVs are being investigated, in which vehicles can be
intelligently charged or discharged feeding power back to the
grid in vehicle-to-grid mode (V2G). To respond to such needs,
EVs are required to share their battery internal data as well as
respond to external control signals. In this paper, the
requirements for the interaction of EVs with the electrical grid
are presented. The defined requirements have been
implemented on an EV test bed, realized by using real EV
components. Charging/V2G tests on the EV test bed have
shown that the presented requirements are sufficient to ensure
an intelligent coordination of EVs into the electricity grid.
