The concept of discharging power from the battery of the electric vehicle to put it back to the grid as part of smart load management when the EV is not used is not new and is called bidirectional charging.
A bidirectional EV can receive energy (charge) from electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and provide energy to an external load (discharge) when it is paired with a similarly capable EVSE.
Bidirectional electric vehicles (EV) employed as mobile battery storage can add resilience benefits and demand-response capabilities to a site’s building infrastructure.
In contrast to stationary storage and generation which must stay at a selected site, bidirectional EVs employed as mobile storage can be mobilized to a site prior to planned outages or arrive shortly after an unexpected power outage to supplement local generation or serve as an emergency reserve.
Grid integration and expansion Vehicle-to-grid bidirectional charging allows electric vehicles to send energy back to the power grid when needed, helping balance supply and demand. This flexibility can be valuable, but it also needs careful management.
An example of the benefits of bidirectional EVs have been shown by the University of Delaware's (UD's) partnership with local electric utilities and with PJM, a regional transmission organization (RTO). UD is a registered market participant and demonstrated the first grid revenue generated from V2G.

A Bi-Directional DC/DC Converter for an Energy Storage System
This paper addresses a bi-directional dc/dc converter suitable for an energy storage system with an additional function of galvanic isolation. An energy storage device such as an electric double layer capacitor is directly connected to one of the dc buses of the dc/dc converter without any chopper circuit. Nevertheless, the dc/dc converter can continue …
