Abstract:
Nowadays, the novel Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technology is becoming of high interest in the domain of Electric Vehicles (EVs). In the context of many EVs connected to the power grid, the V2G technology has as its primary objective to control and assure a necessary balance between the consumption of the energy by some EVs and possible energy delivery into the power grid by other EVs. The V2G applications potentially help to increase the supply grid performance, concerning system stability, efficiency, and reliability. Given the novelty of V2G networking, this paper exposes a short survey on the V2G technology, focusing on identifying the challenges and open research issues for our future work. Also, some solutions and not yet solved problems in V2G are discussed. The approach of using a Software Defined Network (SDN) type of control is briefly introduced. The advantages of SDN-Based Smart Grid (SG) are identified, as well as some challenges, especially related to the centralised concept of the SDN.
