Abstract
Worldwide activity in renewable energy is a motive power to introduce technological innovations. Integrating intermittent energy sources such as solar energy and wind power with battery storage and Vehicle to Grid operations has several advantages for the power grid. The first advantage is that energy storage supports the power grid during the periods that the power grid is facing challenges from high peak demand. The second advantage is that using battery storage and Vehicle to Grid operations would shift the power grid load from the peak and busy time to less demand time. And the third advantage uses energy storage and Vehicle to Grid operations to smooth the fluctuating power supply fed into the power grid by intermittent renewable energy resources. This energy storage idea is of particular importance because, in the future, more renewable energy sources are integrated into the power grid worldwide. The research objective includes the results and examines the role and advantages of battery storage and Vehicle to Grid operations integrated into intermittent sources. The battery storage and Vehicle to Grid operations will create a renewable power supply and enhance the power grid reliability, including a large proportion of intermitted renewable energy sources.
