This Clock Made Power Grids Possible

Cars That Think

As more power stations adopted the clocks, the frequency regulation allowed them to share electricity and create an interconnected power grid. And Warren, who eventually solved the grid-frequency problem, was actually working on a different puzzle when he came across the answer. regulated over 95 percent of all U.S.

False Starts: The Story of Vehicle-to-Grid Power

Cars That Think

They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid. The company’s president, Tom Gage , dubbed the system “vehicle to grid” or V2G. And EV owners would become entrepreneurs, selling electricity back to the grid. And indeed, that’s how promoters of vehicle-to-grid technology perceive the EV.
