Abstract
The invention represents an algorithm to provide a form of regulation up and down services to the electric power grid using a plug-in electric hybrid vehicle (PHEV/EV) or electric vehicle (EV). The basis for this regulation will come from frequency measurements of the power grid. The actual charge rate of the PHEV/EV charger will be adjusted using this regulation signal and information about any charging constraints imposed upon the charger (such as a desired finish time).
