PNNL study finds 2028 grid resource adequacy likely sufficient for high EV penetration; managed charging strategies can double adequacy

Green Car Congress

A new study of the impact of high EV adoption on the Western US power grid by a team from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has found that 2028 grid resource adequacy—from generation through transmission—is likely to be sufficient for high EV penetration.

Study IDs two compressed air energy storage methods, sites for the Northwest

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) have identified two compressed air energy storage methods for the temporary storage of the Northwest’s excess wind power and two eastern Washington locations to put them into practice.

Are EVs Charged Mostly By Coal Power in the US?

EV Adoption

Last year I wrote an article — Electric Vehicles Have Lower Well-to-Wheel Emissions in All 50 States and DC Than Gas-Powered Vehicles — looking at “well to wheel” from the US Department of Energy and my own analysis of EV sales and source of electricity by state. West Virginia well to wheel. of US EV sales in 2020.

MIT study concludes V2G-enabled electric commercial trucks could offer lower total operating cost than conventional diesel fleet

Green Car Congress

A new study by researchers at MIT’s Center for Transportation and Logistics (CTL), concludes that electric commercial vehicles can cost 9 to 12% less to operate than trucks powered by diesel engines when used to make deliveries on an everyday basis in big cities and when V2G (vehicle-to-grid) revenue is incorporated.

How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Blink Charging

The upstream, “well to wheel” emissions of the EV are linked to electricity generation and the electrical grid, with lower emissions in regions that use more renewable energy sources. Some have contended that the materials used in EV production are equivalent in environmental impact to driving a conventional gas car.

In-Home Solar: How Many Panels to Fully Charge Your EV?

Setec Powerr

The power consumption of an EV is typically measured in kilowatt-hours per 100 miles (kWh/100 mi). Additionally, we must consider the total electricity needed to fully charge the vehicle, akin to how we think about the cost to fill up a tank of gas in traditional combustion engine cars. appeared first on SETEC POWER.
