485:(V2G). Plug-in electric vehicles have the ability to supply power at a fast rate which enables them to be used like spinning reserves and provide grid stability with the increased use of intermittent generation such as wind and solar. According to the study cited in the reference, which compared the profitability of offering operating reserve ancillary service with the sales of V2G energy from a fleet of vehicles, providing operating reserve regulation service is more profitable than selling V2G energy alone. However, the technologies to utilize electric vehicles to provide ancillary services are not yet widely implemented, but there is much anticipation of their potential.

Frequency control refers to the need to ensure that the grid frequency stays within a specific range of the nominal frequency. Mismatch between electricity generation and demand causes variations in frequency, so control services are required to bring the frequency back to its nominal value and

Scheduling and dispatch are necessary because in most electrical systems energy storage is nearly zero, so at any instant, the power into the system (produced by a generator) must equal the power out of the system (demand from consumers). Since production must so closely match demand, careful
