I want to know a real time practical example of vehicle to grid and grid to vehicle. Is there any country that has taken any initiative in this area of research?
The electrical grid is a critical infrastructure that is slowly moving towards a more reliable and efficient supply system: the Smart Grid. As part of this migration process, a new group of energy-aware and emission-free technologies are being developed. Electric vehicles are a promising technology that belongs to that group. By connecting the electric vehicles to the grid, an energy-efficient cycle is created, in which the vehicles not only draw power from the grid, but they also send electricity back into it. For a successful vehicle to grid (V2G) interaction, a reliable and ubiquitous V2G communications network should be deployed. While previous research has focused on V2G data transmission when the vehicle is connected to the grid, new focus is on the advantages of enabling the exchange of data while on-the-go by means of a wirelessly connected smart metering infrastructure network.Support of IP communications in
mobile V2G environments is considered by some manufactureers like in BMW i3 model electric vehicles.
