Whenever new technologies are introduced into the power grid, there’s always a chance they could disrupt the system, possibly even leading to blackouts. Finding ways to deal with the impact on the grid caused by incorporating renewable energy has been the focus of Vijay Vittal ’s research for nearly 20 years.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe but, on earth, it must normally be extracted from water or organic compounds. This renewable production capacity is increasingly important to ensure the existing power grid can accept more renewable sources. Myth #2: Hydrogen gas is dangerous to store and use.

Unlike most existing EV charging technology, which sends energy only in one direction — from a power source to a car’s battery — bidirectional charging allows the vehicle to send that energy for use by other devices. Through a converter that’s usually present in the charger, it allows vehicles to send energy directly back to the grid.
