Vehicle-to-grid is an emerging technology whose objective is to better integrate EVs into power systems, by their incorporation in the energy management scheme of the electrical grid. This technology relies on bidirectional power transfer instead of the classical unidirectional charge of the EV batteries [19].
Abstract. Morocco is a leader in the Middle East and North African region in renewable energy. It seeks to source 52% of its electricity capacity from renewable energy by 2030. A traditionally fuel-poor country, Morocco aims to improve its energy security and to reframe itself as an energy-wealthy country awash with renewable energy resources.
