Jenkins has also helped push Congress to think more seriously about the power grid, releasing a report last year that showed that much of the 43 percent emissions reduction expected by 2030 would be squandered if the United States doesn’t double the pace of transmission upgrades. power-grid transmission.

The 260-kilometer, 320-kilovolt high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) transmission system, based on technology from Hitachi Energy , in Zurich, marks a milestone in an ongoing transformation of the European power grid: It will plug into the first truly dynamic multiterminal HVDC network in Europe.

Understanding EV Charging Stations Charging stations vary by connector type, use cases and locale, their power rating, and whether they are AC or DC. Level 2 – Standard Public Charging Stations Level 2 chargers are found at most public charging stations and also use AC power (208/240V in the US, 230/400 VAC in Europe).

V2G: Vehicle-to-grid , where the power grid uses stored EV electricity to balance loads during high-demand periods, avoids the need to increase generation capacity to meet increased demand to power EVs. How are V2G, V2B, V2H, V2V, V2L and V2H Different from V2X? . The use cases are: .

The Evolution of EV Plug Types Travel around the world and you’ll soon realize that each continent (sometimes each country) seems to have its own plug to connect devices to the power grid. If you want to use your devices abroad, you’ll typically need an adapter or even a transformer to draw power.

Speeding up the shift to e-mobility will help us to meet the extremely ambitious CO 2 targets that have been set in Europe, China and the USA. The power electronics are effectively a link that controls the flow of high-voltage energy between the motor and the battery. —Thomas Ulbrich. Earlier post.).

and, acting as the link, controls the flow of high-voltage power between the e-motor and the lithium-ion battery (depending on battery voltage between 296 and up to 418 V). In doing so the power electronics convert the direct current (DC) stored in the battery into alternating current (AC) and use this to drive the motor.

Moving Wind Power Offshore The offshore wind (OFW) industry is one of the most rapidly advancing sources of power around the world. Some wind farms are capable of powering 500,000 homes or more. Currently, Europe leads the market, making up almost 80 percent of OFW capacity.

Level 3 fast charging: 400-volt to 900-volt DC. It provides the speed that EV drivers want, but comes at a high price, with DC fast and ultrafast chargers costing tens of thousands of Euros/Pounds/Dollars. Moreover, as McKinsey notes, “few grids can deliver large amounts of electricity to many EVs at high rates at the same time.”
