FOR THE PAPER TITLED: Heavy-Duty Electric Vehicles Contribution for Frequency Response in Power Systems with V2G: This award-winning research demonstrates that heavy-duty electric vehicles with Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) capability can significantly bolster grid stability by providing rapid and robust primary frequency response during power disturbances. This achievement further strengthens our research program’s reputation for pioneering sustainable energy solutions and advancing interdisciplinary innovation in electrified transportation. By mitigating the adverse effects of renewable energy penetration, this study provides a strategic framework for creating a more resilient and decarbonized power grid for society
