- EVSE enables bidirectional energy flow between
EV and home. 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.
- During peak tariff periods, the discharges
energy the home minimize grid import.
- Communication links between EV, LMS, and
metering systems ensure real-time control and data
exchange. The most commonly used are:

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.

There are many possible architectures for a
V2H system.
- LMS (Load Management System) coordinates
charging/ discharging based peak hours.
- Sub-meter separately tracks EV-specific energy
usage for system optimization.g.
- Smart meter records total household energy usage
for grid interaction and billing.
