V2g (Vehicle to Grid)

V2G stands for Vehicle-to-Grid, a technology that allows electric vehicles (EVs) to not only receive power from the grid,

but also send power back to the grid when needed. The concept involves using the battery storage capabilities of EVs to support t

he grid and more effectively balance supply and demand

​

Why V2G is considered beneficial:

​

* Grid Support and Stability : 

V2G allows EVs to act as energy storage devices. During peak demand periods, the stored energy in EV batteries can be fed back into the grid, helping stabilize the grid and prevent power shortages

 

* Renewable Energy Integration : 

V2G facilitates the integration of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, into the grid. When renewable energy production exceeds demand, surplus energy can be stored in EV batteries, and the stored energy can be returned to the grid when demand is high

 

* Economic Benefits for EV Owners : 

EV owners who participate in V2G programs can receive financial incentives to feed energy back into the grid. This can help offset the costs of charging and ownership

 

* Reduce grid load :

​Using EVs to support the grid during peak hours has the potential to reduce the need for new grid infrastructure, such as power plants and transmission lines, by making more efficient use of existing resources
