IEEE 802.16–2004(WiMAX) protocol for grid control center and aggregator communication in V2G for smart grid application

The Vehicle to grid (V2G) has become a reality with the developments in power grid and electrical vehicle technology. The V2G acts as a source and can be connected to the grid for shaving peak. The information and communication technology (ICT) will play a key role in V2G communications in smart grid environment. The aggregator acts as an interface between the grid control center and electrical vehicles. The communication between grid control center and aggregator is crucial and it is the responsibility of the aggregator to mobilize the electrical vehicles and facilitate the EV's to get connected to the grid by providing them the required parking slot for the EV's based on the state of the battery. In this paper we have analyzed the performance of IEEE 802.16-2004 for grid control center and aggregator communication. The IEEE 802.16-2004 physical layer modeling is performed using MATLAB/SIMULINK.
