Ensuring Grid Safety: Testing Anti-Islanding in EV Chargers and V2G Systems
As electric vehicle charging infrastructure, including onboard chargers and bidirectional vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems, moves into wider adoption, ensuring their safe interaction with the AC grid becomes paramount. This involves rigorous testing for 'anti-islanding' capabilities, which prevent chargers from continuing to energize the grid during a power outage, protecting utility workers and equipment. Understanding these testing protocols is crucial for manufacturers, utilities, and regulators to guarantee reliable and secure EV-grid integration.
