Electric vehicles (EVs) are believed as efficient solutions to reduce carbon emissions and fossil fuel reliance in transportation sectors. Yet, the ever-increasing penetration of EVs also poses great challenges for distribution grid planning and operation. As a research hotspot, the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology could not only relieve the adverse effects of large-scale uncoordinated EV charging but also offer varied auxiliary services for the utility grid via the proper charging/discharging schedule. In this paper, a comprehensive review of distribution grid architectures, grid connection infrastructures and standards, and typical applications is conducted from the perspective of EV-grid integration and V2G operation for the first time. The nanogrid, microgrid, and cluster architectures that are critical components in active distribution grids are all involved in the discussion. Considering EV's triple roles played in grid interaction, the corresponding infrastructure and grid-connection standards, as well as bidirectional/unidirectional charger topologies, are overviewed. Then, four-type nanogrid and microgrid architectures are reviewed and fully evaluated in six aspects, viz., charging demand compatibility, power quality severity, V2G availability, architecture scalability, local control complexity, and technology maturity. The assessment result reveals that the hybrid AC/DC-coupled architecture based on advanced interlinking converters has flexible power flow control and power quality compensation capability, thus facilitating the EV-grid integration and V2G operation effectively. The assessment for three-type cluster architectures indicates that the hybrid parallel-series microgrid cluster has balanced performance in complexity, cost, redundancy, and reliability. Finally, the typical applications of the nanogrid, microgrid, and cluster with EVs integration are exemplified and discussed.
