Reliable Residential Backup Power Control System Through Home to Plug-In Electric Vehicle (H2V)

Abstract

Electric vehicles (EV) are being commercialized to overcome engine emissions and boost performance of vehicle. Peak power management of grid is also accomplished through EVs with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and vehicle-to-home (V2H) capabilities. In a smart grid environment, these strategies assist in managing peak load management of the grid and home respectively. This paper proposes the use of EV as a regular standby power supply for home in addition to its use as an EV. EVs availability and usage developed by different drive patterns and operating modes of the vehicle. Unscheduled charging of the EV through grid case too much stress on the grid, so the ability of the vehicle to take power from the roof mounted solar panel and feed to the domestic load in different seasons of the year is discussed. The hardware in the loop model of the proposed home-to-vehicle (H2V) system is developed and results are obtained for different operating modes. The obtained result has shown significant promise to the suggested H2V strategy.
