BMW Group plants stepping up activities in balancing-power market to contribute to grid stability

Green Car Congress

Together with other highly-flexible controllable systems in the BMW Group production network, they will contribute to the stability of the public grid outside of the plant. Electricity generation from variable renewable electricity sources (VRE) such as wind and solar power has grown rapidly and is expected to continue to do so.

CMU researchers find controlled charging of PHEVs can cut cost of integration into electricity system by 54-73%; higher benefits with wind power

Green Car Congress

The magnitude of these savings is ~5% to 15% higher in a system with 20% wind penetration compared to a system with no wind power, and the savings are 50–60% higher in a system that requires capacity expansion. Controlled charging can also take advantage of the high levels of wind generation that commonly occur at night in the US.

Audi unveils e-gas project: synthetic methane from the methanation of green hydrogen; series production of CNG models in 2013 powered by e-gas

Green Car Congress

The e-gas project consists of two main components: Audi is contributing to the construction of offshore North Sea wind turbines which will generate clean power,that is then fed into the public power grid. Although this methane is also known as synthetic natural gas, the company refers to it as Audi e-gas. Rated at 3.6

The unique role some Tribal nations are taking in the EV transition

Plug in America

In Bob’s words, this would bring “good medicine” to these communities and, in turn, the Nation and the World, or “Turtle Island,” as it is often referred to by Indigenous people in North America. Tribal innovation is also coming from the electrical grid.

Why Bidirectional Charging is The Next Big Thing for EV Owners

Wallbox

Whilst with unidirectional (one-way) EV chargers, electricity flows from the electric grid into the electric vehicle, with bidirectional (two-way) EV chargers, electricity can flow both ways. This is done using data connections between the EV and the charger. V2G: Vehicle to Grid. But how does this work? V2H: Vehicle to Home.
