Assistant Lecturer Ali Jabr Musakhil, a lecturer in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering – Maysan University, has published a scientific research entitled:
“Application of V2G Technologies to Compensate for Energy Deficit in Maysan Province (Iraq): Modeling and Infrastructure Solution”
The research was published in the journal Smart Electrical Engineering, a peer-reviewed Russian scientific journal specializing in engineering and technology fields, and accredited by the Supreme Attestation Commission (VAK) of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.
The study focused on evaluating the potential of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technologies in addressing the energy deficit in Maysan Governorate. Relying on official data from the Ministry of Electricity and the Governorate Electricity Directorate covering the period from 2018 to 2023, the research analyzed the regional energy balance and identified the main causes of capacity shortages. MATLAB-based simulations were conducted to assess various V2G implementation scenarios.
The research estimated the potential energy contribution from electric vehicle (EV) batteries, considering key parameters such as participation rate, depth of discharge, and transformer efficiency. The findings indicated that with an EV penetration rate of 1% (approximately 5,000 vehicles), V2G technology could provide up to 112.5 MWh of energy per day and reduce peak load by 35 MW, representing nearly 39% of the existing energy deficit.
The study further highlighted that the most significant impact of V2G systems is expected during transitional seasonal periods and winter. Additionally, a methodology was proposed to determine the required number of bidirectional chargers (estimated between 1,500 and 1,800 units), along with a strategic priority map for deploying charging stations, particularly near critical infrastructure such as hospitals and irrigation pumping stations.
The results confirm the technical feasibility and socio-economic viability of implementing localized V2G models in regions experiencing energy shortages, supporting their role as an innovative solution in modern energy management systems.
