A study on stablization of electric power supply under smart grid environment: Utilizing storage function of electric vehicles

Drastic changes in global warming and natural disasters all around the world have yielded an interest in usage of renewable and sustainable energy. Out of all the types of renewable energy, the usage of solar power generation has been rapidly growing in recent years. However, since solar power is acutely affected by weather conditions, smart grid systems that can stabilize each house's electricity supply and demand balance are accumulating interest. In smart grid systems, storage batteries have an important role in stabilization, and its costs and management problems have emerged. From the points above, this study will take a look at utilizing electric vehicle's storage batteries, which its technology has been rapidly advancing recently, and construct a model of such smart grids. Upon further research, this study will point out the relationship between the necessary solar panels and storage capacity when acknowledging about stabilized smart grids. Its effects and problems on the application of such systems in real life will be also discussed.
