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. However, the distributed, non-synchronous, and weather-dependent nature of the resources causes specific challenges when integrating them into power systems.

As energy is increasingly fed in from fluctuating, renewable energy sources such as wind farms or solar power stations, high-capacity battery storages are the key to stabilising power networks. Cost-effective use in stationary operation is thus possible for at least an estimated ten years longer.

This Vehicle to Grid (V2G) system consists of the Endesa two-way charger and an energy management system that can also integrate such off-grid, and renewable, power generation as solar panels and wind turbines. Endesa will host a full demonstration of the market-ready and low cost system in Madrid on 12 March.

The 40-foot “E-Bus” is based on New Flyer’s 40-foot Xcelsior heavy-duty transit bus and is powered by a 120 kWh lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack developed by MHI. The $3-million electric bus project costs are split equally between the Government of Manitoba, Manitoba Hydro and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. cells (185 Wh-class).

Bi-polar lead-acid batteries approach the storage densities of NiMH, but at lower cost. But bi-polar battery packs also have the potential for use in telecommunications, providing uninterrupted power supplies, stationary power and renewable energy power storage, both solar and wind applications.

Third, you can take advantage of EV charger incentives to subsidize the cost of your investment. Next, as a homeowner, you will also have to add the cost of enabling an EV charger to your budget. This turns EV batteries into a source for power storage that can be leveraged to balance energy capacity in your condo.

Smart EV charging uses intelligence to manage when and how an electric vehicle plugged into a smart charger will receive power for charging based on the cost of electricity, its availability, and the needs of the driver. Together these capabilities can flatten the demand curve and help a location reduce maximum capacity and costs.

There are likely many benefits to home charging that ought to make this the most popular option and here well cover the three "c"s: convenience, cost, and carbon-control. If cost is an important consideration, than charging your EV at home is a no-brainer as it cuts out any profit-hungry middlemen. Battery swapping has its critics.
