Abstract

With the increasing number of electric vehicles (EVs), V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) and G2V (Grid-to-Vehicle) technologies have garnered growing attention as essential methods for energy flow between EVs and the power grid. This study examines the impact of EV charging devices, based on bidirectional power electronic converters, on grid stability. As EVs become more widely adopted, V2G and G2V technologies are extensively applied to enable bidirectional energy flow between EVs and the grid. This study analyzes different topologies of power electronic converters and explores how optimized control strategies can enhance grid voltage and frequency stability. The research shows that bidirectional charging devices provide significant advantages in addressing voltage fluctuations and frequency instability, especially in peak shaving and valley filling, effectively easing grid load. Furthermore, future developments in bidirectional charging devices will focus on intelligent control and synergistic optimization with renewable energy to improve grid stability and power quality. The research methods include analysis and comparison of different converter topologies. Results indicate that bidirectional charging devices have a significant effect in resolving grid instability issues, supporting the further advancement of smart grids).
