A Review of EV Converters Performance during V2G/G2V mode of Operation

Electric vehicles are a distributed energy storage system that, when integrated with the supply grid, can improve grid stability and efficiency while also providing an additional revenue stream for electric vehicle owners, a technology known as vehicle-to-grid technology (V2G). Because of the obvious usefulness of this technology in a future where electric vehicles are a key mode of transportation, study into the possibilities, consequences, benefits, and drawbacks of V2G technology must be done. The most important component of these V2G-capable vehicles is bidirectional converters. This review study examines the topology, features, components, operation, and strengths and weaknesses of various electric vehicle converters.
