Abstract: Electric vehicles (EVs) and photovoltaic (PV) systems have been progressively incorporated into the grid in recent years principally due to two factors: reduced energy costs and lower pollutants. Numerous studies have investigated how integrating PV and EVs into the grid may affect specific people. It is crucial to understand that the electricity grid will experience the combined effects of PV–EV integration as PV and EV penetration increases. The primary motivation for PV’s integration with Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V) services is the aim to reduce charging costs from discharging; moreover, another prerequisite must be satisfied before PV arrays will be able to provide V2G services. The range between the driving limit and EV battery degradation should be reasonable. The way EVs charge and discharge will be impacted by these factors. Numerous analyses are required in order to control the power between various source and load scenarios. In order to balance grids and manage frequency, controllers such as Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO), Improved Ant Colony Optimization (IACO), and Improved Mayfly Optimization (IMO) are used. As a result, V2G/G2V helps feed electricity back into the grid. By providing the proper duty cycle ratio, the proposed controller regulates converter switching. This study allowed for the performance analysis and operation simulation of a grid-connected PV/EV/Grid system. The purpose of this system was to maximize PV self-consumption while maintaining power quality characteristics like harmonics, grid voltage/current, and power factor.
