Abstract
This thesis covers a subject that is not well-documented yet. It serves as a proof of concept of the feasibility of using an AC Grid-Integrated Vehicle to provide power from one electric vehicle to another (V2V) and from an electric vehicle to a load (V2L). ☐ This work first discusses the need for a V2V system considering the growth in EV deployment and the possibility of not having enough range to complete a trip, yet not having EV charging infrastructure nearby. ☐ Different user scenarios are considered, and the technical requirements, based on existing equipment and on multiple standards, are analyzed and discussed in order to design a complete working system. ☐ Multiple design choices are presented as well as the path taken to study a specific working model allowing an EV to exchange power with another. ☐ Results of an example application are presented, and the need for future work is outlined in order to achieve a working, user-robust system to perform both V2V and V2L in addition to V2G.
