Impact Assessment of V2G Ancillary Services on a Distribution Network: A Case Study of the Centro Babahoyo Feeder
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article addresses the implementation of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology in the electrical grid of Babahoyo, Ecuador, to evaluate its influence on energy efficiency. Despite the technological growth in electrical networks, with the integration of renewable energies and control devices, such as electric vehicles (EVs), there is a lack of previous research in Babahoyo and studies on V2G. Ecuador consumes a significant portion of its energy in fossil fuels for transportation, and EVs are considered an efficient and ecological solution. V2G technology allows EVs to inject energy into the grid during peak demand, improving efficiency and regulating power. The study includes simulations that reveal that the incorporation of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVSE) in the Babahoyo network smoothes demand on weekdays, reduces overload in transformers and improves the quality of the electrical supply.
