This paper introduces a novel testing environment that integrates unidirectional and bidirectional charging infrastructures into an existing hybrid energy storage system. . In addition, with the proposed strategies, the bidirectional charging/discharging capability of the battery is able to achieve the maximum PV power utilization. A bidirectional EV can receive energy (charge) from electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and provide energy to an external. . Bidirectional electric vehicles (EV) employed as mobile battery storage can add resilience benefits and demand-response capabilities to a site's building infrastructure.
