Model Predictive Control in Vehicle-to-Grid Systems: A Review of GWO-Based Approaches
Keywords:
power infrastructure, electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage systems (ESS)Abstract
The power infrastructure is facing new difficulties as we move towards renewable energy sources that are variable, like wind and solar energy. Renewable energy production is extremely reliant on the weather, which limits its predictability and controllability and makes plants in general smaller and more dispersed. This work discusses the potential of integrating electric vehicles (EVs) with energy storage systems (ESS) to address the challenges of renewable energy integration and provide frequency support in microgrids. The high cost and degradation of ESS are limiting factors, and the collaboration with EVs offers a solution for stable microgrid operation.
