Abstract

Recently, significant advances have been seen in the study and development of electric vehicles and related technologies. These developments drive both the rapid increase in the appeal of electric vehicles as well as the efforts towards the creation of systems that will support, control and manage their widespread use. The vehicle-to-grid (V2G) concept, combined with smart grid technologies, 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 a more significant presence in the transportation scene of our day, a review of the vehicle-to-grid concept and application, as well as a discussion of relevant current and future perspectives is of great importance. It is equally important to gain an understanding of the V2G system effects on power quality and the methods by which related issues can be addressed. This review presents comprehensive and current information regarding these topics to provide further insight into this fascinating field of technology.
