Abstract :
This paper describes a system to operate solar microgrids with V2G and carport solar panels within a municipal distribution system. A typical light industrial area has thousands of vehicle parking spaces at hundreds of large commercial and industrial firms. For a small municipal Utility with a city containing 400 commercial and industrial facilities, the total solar capacity would exceed 500 MW. Each microgrid also would include battery storage, micro power sources, and digital transformers for maximum efficiency and control. The system minimizes electric vehicle carbon footprint, integrates internal and external intermittent renewable resources, reduces distribution losses and costs, and increases service reliability.
