Effect of Vehicle-to-Grid on generation scheduling: in case of a collection of public holidays on the Japanese calendar

Abstract

With the increase in the amount of photovoltaic power generation (PV) introduced, measures to respond to PV output fluctuations by Vehicle to Grid (V2G), which connects storage batteries of electric vehicles (EV) to the power system, have been studied. Since the usage status of many car changes on weekdays and holidays, the effects of V2G may be evaluated more accurately by considering weekly operation in addition to daily operation. In this study, we will quantitatively evaluate the effects of considering EVs that can be used for the weekly operation of a power supply group, including hydropower plants, in case of a collection of public holidays on the Japanese calendar.
