  The global energy landscape is experiencing a significant transformation
driven by increased awareness of climate change and rapid technological
advancements in renewable energy and electric vehicles (EVs). Packetized energy
management (PEM) schemes are gaining attention as a potential solution for
power management for effective load control. This study presents the
development of a co-simulation platform to investigate integration of
vehicle-to-grid (V2G) with packetized energy trading (PET) in microgrid
scenarios. The platform facilitates the interaction between EVs and prosumers,
with a focus on responsive loads, and solar photovoltaic (PV) as intermittently
available resources. Using the developed co-simulation, this study evaluates
how V2G-capable EVs can enhance the stability and efficiency of PET-based
microgrids. The results demonstrate the capability of V2G EVs to act as an
energy reservoir, effectively managing demand-side load, thus mitigating its
fluctuation from available supply while maintaining quality-of-service.
