Abstract

In the near future, electric vehicles (EV) will play an important role in society around the globe and affect the electrical power system. For instance, there would sometimes be a period of electric shortage in a case of high volume of electric consumption. This sample issue might be prevented by enacting a policy of charging EV during the peak time of electric consumption. Apart from the electric shortage during the peak hours, voltage unbalance could also be another concern due to the fact that most EV stations are supplied by single phase electricity. Many previous researches have used V2G as an ancillary source supporting peak demand and frequency regulation. This research presents a method to mitigate the problem of voltage unbalance by utilizing vehicle to grid technology management. The EVs are tested IEEE 14 Bus model using DigSILENT PowerFactory Programming. The results show that when V2G mode in EVs is managed by discharging them at selected for a suitable number of EV customers. The Voltage Unbalance Factor (VUF) decreases and satisfies the IEC standard.
