This paper investigates the potential of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology to provide primary frequency regulation in a single-area thermal power system. Traditional thermal units often struggle with slow response times during sudden load changes, leading to frequency deviations. By leveraging the rapid response capabilities of EV batteries, this study proposes a coordinated control strategy. Simulations demonstrate that V2G integration significantly reduces Peak Overshoot and settling time compared to conventional governor control, ensuring a more resilient grid infrastructure
