Electric Vehicle: Components, Charging Infrastructure and Grid Integration Solutions | Smart Grid – IV | Power Quality, Frequency Support & Economic Benefits of EVs | Lecture 47

This lecture discusses the power-quality challenges and grid-support capabilities of EV charging systems, including harmonic distortion, power-factor degradation, and their impacts on distribution networks.

The lecture also covers EVs as frequency-support resources through Fast Frequency Response (FFR), V2G-based primary frequency control, and synthetic inertia. The economic impacts and benefits of EV integration for GENCOs and DSOs are also discussed.
