This Essential Element of the Power Grid Is in Critically Short Supply

Cars That Think

Theyre now reworking transformer designs to use different or less sought-after materials, to last longer, to include power electronics that allow the easy conversion between AC and DC, and to be more standardized and less customized than the transformers of today. India and China are expected to see the fastest demand growth in that time.

PNNL study finds that PHEVs and BEVs could serve as feasible resource to offset grid imbalances caused by integration of large amounts of intermittent wind generation

Green Car Congress

V2GFull varies not only the charging of the vehicle battery, but also can vary the discharging of the battery back into the power grid. trafficThis scenario is currently less desirable to automotive manufacturers, but provides an additional resource benefit to PHEV/BEVs by theoretically doubling their capacity value to the grid.
