Abstract

Recently, the use of electric vehicles in a power grid has been attracting attention. The success of vehicle-grid integration (VGI) requires the active participation of not only VGI service providers but also electric vehicle owners, utility companies, and the government in the VGI service. However, until now, such research has not been sufficiently discussed. Thus, we propose a framework for analyzing the economic environment in which each stakeholder can participate, especially in the application of a demand response, and derive its economic value in Korea. Also, through the proposed framework, we suggest optimal scenarios and policy directions for each participant’s successful business. Our results show that government and a utility company need to share their benefits with a VGI service provider to make VGI a success.
