The Role of Power Utilities in Turning EVs into a Grid Asset – Part 2

Driivz

Part 1 of this two-part blog discusses the challenges facing electric utilities – both electricity generators and grid operators – with electric vehicle (EV) adoption coinciding with the electrification of buildings, heating, and industry. That is one way to balance the load on the grid.

A Driver-Centric Approach Is Essential to Broad Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Adoption

Driivz

The 2020 International Energy Agency’s Global EV Outlook projects that by 2030, the share of electricity going towards EV charging could rise to as high as 4–10% at peak demand. V2G returns the energy stored in EV batteries to the grid. That is the value behind the purchase of any vehicle, electric or internal combustion.

How LEED v4.1 Provides Points for EV Charging

Blink Charging

Ensure that your equipment complies with all relevant local safety standards. You must: Analyze your building’s annual load shape and peak load and compare it to the load shape and peak load of the regional electricity grid to identify the best value load management strategies that the building can provide.

PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

These vehicles are the green machines that will provide a critical part of the renewable and sustainable society that we need for the future. [ PHEVLERs use liquid fuel occasionally when the vehicle needs to travel distances beyond its electric driving range. PHEVLERs make our electric grid more efficient. [ Dr. Andrew A.

Mad Power thoughts

EV Info

Yet whenever we troublemakers raised this issue, we were told not to worry – it would resolve itself, they said, either because wind is usually blowing somewhere, or through the development of electricity storage in giant battery farms. The cost of grid management has soared to nearly £2billion a year in the last two decades.
