Increasing fossil fuel prices and environmental issues caused by fossil fuel-based vehicles have led to exceptional attention to electrifying the transportation system. Therefore, electric vehicles (EVs), which play a significant role in the electric transport system, will grow significantly in the near future. But the widespread use of EVs may create problems in the control and operation of the power grid. Large-scale and uncoordinated integration of vehicles into the power grid will cause issues like voltage drop and increase peak load and losses. However, with EVs’ coordinated charging and discharging, the mentioned problems can be prevented, and also it is possible to provide different services to the power network. Hence, in this chapter, the services that EVs can provide to the network are divided into three categories: active power support, reactive power support, and support for the integration of renewable energy sources, and then these services are considered in detail.
