Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) is the concept of buffering energy in the batteries of electric vehicles and feeding it back into the power grid at peak demand times. The goal of this work is to as-sess the potential economic profit of V2G on different energy markets in Germany, using real market data from 2009. To this end, different energy markets in Germany are analyzed and, using a static cost model, a novel Microsoft Excel-based software tool named V2G Profit Agent was developed that allows a flexible evaluation of different V2G scenarios.     «
