  1. The development of new technologies is increasing transportation electrification and electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to become even more popular in coming years. High EV adoption rates can increase the potential to use EVs as an energy resource and operate in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and vehicle-to-home (V2H). This paper focuses on the resilience analysis of using EVs and roof-top solar photovoltaic systems (PVs) to provide power support in network microgrids (MGs) experiencing an outage due to extreme weather conditions. To determine the effectiveness of using EVs and PVs as backup energy resources, a set of resilience metrics are evaluated for different cases and duration. Simulation results show that the management of EVs and PVs in residential networked MGs could provide power support for several hours during the restoration of a distribution system experiencing an outage.

  2. The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is underway globally and EVs are expected to become more widely adopted in the coming years. One of the main characteristics of EVs is that they are not only seen as mean for transportation but also potentially as a flexible energy storage resource in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) applications. This paper proposes a resilience analysis on the feasibility of using EVs for power restoration and supply of residential networked microgrids (MGs) experiencing a power outage due to extreme weather. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of utilizing EVs as a backup power supply during an outage, various case studies are presented considering different scenarios and resilience metrics. Test results demonstrate that EVs can satisfy the energy requirements of a residential household for more than 6 hours but, also provide power to the distribution grid through MG aggregation.
