Abstract

The rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) and the increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions have paved the way for advanced technologies like Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G). V2G is an innovative concept that allows a two-way exchange of electricity between EVs and the power grid. Unlike conventional systems where vehicles only consume power, V2G enables EVs to act as mobile energy storage units that can both draw energy from and supply energy back to the grid. This integration plays an important role in developing smarter and more efficient power systems.

Conclusion

Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology is an innovative solution that enables electric vehicles to interact with the power grid through bidirectional energy flow, transforming them into mobile energy storage systems. It improves grid stability, supports renewable energy integration, and helps manage peak demand efficiently. By combining advanced hardware, intelligent software, and smart communication systems, V2G offers both economic and environmental benefits. Although challenges such as battery degradation and high implementation costs exist, continuous advancements are expected to overcome these issues, making V2G a key technology for a sustainable and smart energy future.
