Cover Story: The demand for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) is rising as the world shifts toward electric transport. Proactively integrating EVSE into the power grid could play a key role in the green transition, enabling Electric Vehicles (EVs) to provide essential services like frequency regulation. This paper introduces a novel method for controlling the charging process of EVs to facilitate frequency regulation through a distributed control architecture. This approach supports grid stability while considering the urgency of users' charging needs. Demonstrated with two Renault ZOEs, the results show consistent power sharing and fast, precise frequency control. The paper concludes by outlining potential improvements and future research, emphasizing the role of integrating EVs as service providers in sustainable energy systems. View this paper
