Requirements for an interface between a plug-in vehicle and an energy system

In this paper, requirements for an interface between a plug-in vehicle and an energy management system are discussed. A case where there is a service provider aggregating large amount of small resources was considered. Requirements were set for electrical and ICT interfaces and some related standardization work was briefly presented. Four different types of interfaces were presented: passive load (type 1), dynamic load (type 2), V2G (vehicle-to-grid - type 3) and V2H (vehicle-to-home - type 4).
