4. Background California leading state for deployment of and sale of plug-in vehicles California needs to be ready from an infrastructure perspective Many regional efforts in the state involving utilities, communities, cities, EVSE providers Communication and sharing between the different regional efforts is lacking
5.
6.
7. Facilitate sharing of information and best practices among the different regional PEV readiness efforts, particularly North-South connection
8. Serve a networking function and provide connection between problem identifiers and solution providers
34. Vehicle-to-Grid Power Grid EV of PHEV Vehicle-to-Grid refers to flow of electricity and communications between and electric-drive vehicle and the electric grid Two large sector that can be integrated Smart interaction between vehicle fleet, grid and intermittent renewable Large, low-cost storage of electricity Helps business case of PEVs
35. Recommendations We need targeted deployment of V2G now! Need to show benefits in targeted demonstrations Discharging of EVs and other distributed generation back to the grid provides greater benefit to the grid Use of stored electricity, grid stability, added generation capacity
36. Recommendations Encourage infrastructure projects be followed by test plans and monitoring of PEV use characteristics Design projects with fleets or aggregated vehicles – 50 to 200 vehicles (muni, gov fleets, campus) 1) Controlled charging 2) Variable rate charging 3) Discharging to grid 4) Added functionality of on-board power Partners: Commercial fleets, Utilities, CalISO With installation of ‘smart grid’ and charging infrastructure deploy and test in parallel new applications and technologies such as V2G that really put the smart grid to use
