In the V2G technology, if a large pool of EVs is presented in an aggregator, several ancillary services, such as voltage sag and swell compensation, reactive power support, peak shaving and valley filling, and harmonic eliminations can be achieved easily.
The novelties of the proposed method are the PCC voltage profile regulation for a period of 24-hours, the charging-discharging rate ([C.sub.rate]) control for each EV's battery, peak shaving and valley filling, and energy management to provide an appropriate scheduling for charging and discharging of EVs.
Therefore, the load profile of the PCC is improved as well as the peak shaving and valley filling is carried out.
