This MEDPOWER 2024 contribution quantifies the grid‑support potential of integrating intelligently managed photovoltaics with bidirectional EV charging (V2G). Using a combination of load‑flow simulations and real‐world driving data, the authors show that coordinated V2G dispatch during peak hours can reduce feeder stress by up to 30 %, defer distribution upgrades, and cut operational costs. They outline an optimization framework that balances battery‐degradation costs against grid‐service revenues, offering a pathway for utilities and aggregators to monetize parked EV fleets.
