Performance investigation of mobile WiMAX protocol for aggregator and electrical vehicle communication in Vehicle-to-Grid(V2G)

With the developments in smart power grid and electrical vehicle technology the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) has become reality. The V2G plays a prominent role in meeting the load demands either peak shaving or valley filling in power management. The aggregator acts as an interface between the power grid and electrical vehicles and communication between them plays a key role. The mobile WiMAX(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) 802.16e is proposed as a communication protocol for aggregator and electrical vehicle communication. The path loss models are compared and simulation of WiMAX 802.16e physical layer is carried out using MATLAB and its performance is investigated.
