- System leverages time-of-use pricing reduce
electricity cost.
- Sub-meter separately tracks EV-specific energy
usage for system optimization. The most commonly used are:
Peak Load Management Architecture, Local
Renewable Energy Maximization
Architecture, and Islanded Operation
Architecture, illustrated Table Each
architecture comprises key components
such bidirectional charger, distribution
board, Local Management System (LMS),
and standard communication protocols to
facilitate controlled energy flow between the
electric vehicle (EV) and the home.
- During peak tariff periods, the discharges
energy the home minimize grid import., solar

- LMS (Load Management System) coordinates
charging/ discharging based peak hours. System Architecture and

There are many possible architectures for a
V2H system.
Components Involved
.
- Smart meter monitors total energy import/export,
enabling real-time adjustments and utility
communication. The
system further supported smart
meters, protection devices, and optional
energy storage, enabling effective load
management, cost optimization, and
enhanced resilience within smart grid
environments.
