efficiency can be further improved compared with random

with the enhance of controlled charging proportion.
Under the V2G mode, some of the EV can play as power gen-
eration. As shown in Fig. 7, the V2G load can be negative in the peak
period and positive in the off-peak period. The peak of ‘Grid þ EV
load’ is lower than the grid load, which implies that EV participa-
