That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. Spiking demand for electric heat collided with supply problems created by frozen natural-gas equipment and below-average wind-power production. Packetized energy management (PEM) allows the power grid to flexibly handle a varying supply of renewable energy.

As the costs of climate change and the price of oil both become too high to bear, auto manufacturers will shift more of their vehicle fleets to electric. As it stands, the power grid is already run-down and outdated , built for the electric loads of a century ago, not for modern life. OpenADR can even turn fleet into an asset.

The remarkable advantage for BMW customers in using BMW i3 batteries as a plug and play storage application is the ability to tap into an alternative resource for residential and commercial backup power, thus using renewable energy much more efficiently, and enabling additional revenues from the energy market.

In 2030, McKinsey estimates that there may be as many as 48 million EVs plugging into the US power grid, which means that utility providers are already preparing for the increased load. Some businesses use BESS to store power generated by solar panels for use in the evening or during a power outage.

However, the financial cost of the shift is causing concern. Part of this assessment is the need to examine the suitability of capacity markets as a transitional measure to support the adjustment to a post-nuclear power system. A fourth measure relates to the fixed costs of the electricity system, such as the grid or EEG levy.

Vehicle to Grid is a really interesting area to do projects. The idea here is that you can connect your EV to the power grid and flow power from your EV to the Grid. An electric car acts as a load or micro-generating station for the grid. There are two possibilities for your thesis.

I don’t think any of us — except, perhaps, those lucky enough to have solar panels — enjoy getting our electric bill. The point of demand charges is to levy extra costs on those that put the biggest strain on the power grid, to offset the damage they do. So, How Does All This Hide Costs?

Despite this, a 2003 EPRI study , assuming only $2/gallon gas , zero buying incentives, and a PHEV premium of $3-$5,000 more than standard hybrids, shows that the total lifetime cost of ownership for a PHEV will be lower than that of any other vehicle type -- so the payback will be there.
