This academic article explores the potential of electric vehicles (EVs) in managing the primary frequency control of an industrial microgrid. The article emphasizes the advantages of EVs in the transport sector, such as lower operation costs and CO2 emissions. The study presents a control scheme that allows bidirectional power flow, providing dependable frequency regulation support to the industrial microgrid during contingencies. It also highlights that increasing the number of EVs in a fleet can enhance the microgrid’s frequency even further.
