Azerbaijans Pivot From Oil to Solar and Wind Of the six countries that make up the Caucasus region, Azerbaijan boasts the largest potential for generating exportable renewable energy for Europe, a fact that presents some measure of irony. The plant supplies up to 230 megawatts of power to Azerbaijans grid.

Load management is a critical component of any EV infrastructure deployment, but multi-unit applications require different algorithms from those used in commercial fleet settings, which tend to have more predictable vehicle usage patterns. Charged : Youre targeting multifamily, workplace and retail applications rather than commercial fleets.

SwRI’s V2G aggregation system allows electric delivery truck fleet owners to make money by using normal vehicle charge times to assist in managing grid frequency. The SwRI system suspends vehicle charging when the electric grid frequency drops too far below 60 Hertz, the normal operating frequency. Click to enlarge.

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.
