Electric Vehicles (EVs) play a crucial role in integrating renewable energy into the Smart Grid by functioning as both energy consumers and mobile energy storage systems. This
These units encompass battery modules, inverters, control systems, and associated cooling and safety mechanisms. Their modular design facilitates easy transportation and

Solar-plus-storage system adoption is rising, particularly in California and Hawaii, driven by net metering policy changes encouraging energy self-consumption. Given the right energy management solutions, bidirectional charging, or V2X, could add significant storage capacity for these systems.
Prioritizing the use of self-generated solar energy to charge the EV at a lower cost. Enabling faster vehicle charging speeds at home by stacking energy delivered from solar, storage, and the grid.
In the case of bidirectional charging, EVs can even function as mobile, flexible storage systems that can be integrated into the grid. This paper introduces a novel testing environment that integrates unidirectional and bidirectional charging infrastructures into an existing hybrid energy storage system.
Bidirectional charging allows an electric vehicle to both charge its battery from the electrical grid and discharge energy back to the grid or another electrical system. This capability will not only enable emergency backup power for homes and businesses but also allow users to alleviate grid strain and reduce energy costs.
