Reply to Shirazi and Sachs comments on "Measurement of Power Loss During Electric Vehicle Charging and Discharging"
Abstract
Shirazi and Sachs comment on our publication in Energy "Measurement of Power Loss During Electric Vehicle Charging and Discharging" [1]. Their comment discusses aspects of our methodology and findings on round-trip efficiency during charging and discharging of electric vehicles (EVs) [2]. This reply discuss the transformer used in our experimental process, resulting in a round-trip efficiency of 70% and equally inflated commercial assumptions. Also, we suggest that the transformer losses should not be included in the V2G economics.
