NREL study finds that uncoordinated plug-in vehicle charging could prove challenging to the grid

Green Car Congress

An influx of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) charging without coordination could prove challenging to the nation’s electric grid, according to research conducted by the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Muratori noted that might be true in the future, but not necessarily.

With Gebru’s permission, Karnowski downloaded the dataset, and the team was ready to create a neural network as the second step in the project. Lacking an available city-wide grid of intersections equipped with GRIDSMART traffic lights, Karnowski’s team instead turned to computer simulations to test their system. Karnowski, R.

Lawrence Livermore publishes state-by-state energy/water Sankey diagrams

Green Car Congress

Sankey diagrams can be used to frame important discussions around energy and material resources, use and disposition. Some water resources also flow up to energy resources (petroleum, biomass, natural gas, and coal). General location of energy and water categories. Energy and water generally “flows” from left to right.

CMU county-level study shows plug-ins have larger or smaller lifecycle GHG than gasoline ICE depending on regional factors

Green Car Congress

Jeremy Michalek accounted for regional differences in emissions due to marginal grid mix; ambient temperature; patterns of vehicle miles traveled (VMT); and driving conditions (city versus highway). The researchers said this is due to the combined effect of grid carbon intensity, highway driving, and regional temperature.
