- Funded by Automobile Industry & NSFC Joint grant (U1864202), this paper, for the first time, provides a Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) method with the function of battery longevity management benefiting in significantly reducing battery disordered charge/discharge cycles. The bi-directional power exchanges between the grid and EVs are important but will cause battery degradations due to the extra cycles. This paper solves the problem and develops the new V2G method by adding the battery-cycling control as a quantitative factor, targeting for frequency regulation in a real microgird in Belgium. The research also led an active collaboration with the University of Oxford and Beijing-Institute-of-Technology.
