Mitsubishi and Tokyo Institute of Technology Developing EV Smart Charging from Wind Turbines

Green Car Congress

In order to store electricity generated at night, windmill operators need to install sodium-sulfur battery systems, which are as costly as power generators. It collects data both on power generation and electric vehicle recharging. But they often are not interested in buying power produced at night because of weak demand.

How Businesses and Building Owners Can Save on Energy Costs with Smart EV Charging and Energy Management

Driivz

Companies can reduce costs by using locally generated renewable energy, typically solar, to power EV charging instead of grid electricity. This energy can also be stored in onsite batteries for use when grid energy is most expensive. Or you can store grid energy in the batteries when it is cheap and use it to meet peak needs.

What is Smart Energy Management

Driivz

With Vehicle to Grid (V2G) , vehicles’ batteries provide power to the grid during times of peak demand, and the vehicles’ batteries are recharged during times of lower demand. The grid draws on the vehicle’s stored energy and then directs energy back to the vehicle to recharge the battery, so it is ready for usage when needed.
