Abstract: The vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology is an effective and economic solution to enable the integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into power grids. As an effort to present the state of the art in relevant fields, the power interaction mode between EVs and power grids, and the scheduling methodology for the V2G implementation are overviewed comprehensively in this paper. To be specific, technical requirements, grid impacts and battery degradations regarding each power interaction mode are discussed; the operating processes of centralized and decentralized scheduling approaches are introduced and compared. More importantly, it is noted that few attentions are given to the solving algorithms of programming models used for optimizing the scheduling strategy of EVs and few works examine their feasibilities to acquire the optimal charging strategies especially for a large number of EVs. In this context, this paper also illuminates the mathematical foundation on optimization techniques for the optimal V2G strategy, and provides new insights for evaluating these models.
