Abstract :
In this paper, we have investigated the possibilities of plug-in vehicles to produce ancillary services for distribution networks. First, special features of plug-in vehicles as controllable resources are discussed and then motivation and methods of four different types of ancillary services are discussed. These services are peak load management, network power flow management, customer back-up power and power quality improvement. Finally some conclusions are made and future work is proposed.
