Lessons

Lesson 1 - Overcoming Grid Challenges for Seamless Renewable Integration

The increasing number of electric vehicles (EVs) being used as intelligent distributed energy resources (DERs) offers an exciting opportunity for EV and EV supply equipment (EVSE) manufacturers to differentiate their products in the market. With the global adoption of bidirectional EV charging, and the addition of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services, the EV battery pack goes from being just a consumer product that powers the vehicle, to being able to supply electricity back to the grid. Energy providers (utilities) around the world enforce very strict rules and standard test requirements around DERs and their interconnection and interoperability with the grid. The various global EV charging standards make it even more complicated for EV and EVSE manufacturers to ensure global compliance of interconnection with the local grid. Join our panel of experts, who will dive into the design and test challenges posed by evolving V2G standards, and ways to solve these challenges.

5 Key Drivers For Grid Modernization

The energy grid is experiencing an unprecedented transformation. Cutting-edge technologies like telecommunications, distributed energy resources (DER), battery storage, solar power, and cybersecurity are driving this evolution, referred to as grid modernization. This fundamental shift presents challenges and opportunities that will reshape how the world generates, distributes, and consumes electricity. The push for transformation comes as concerns rise about aging infrastructure, increasing blackouts, and increasing environmental impact. Grid modernization strives to tackle these problems to ensure a more sustainable, reliable, and secure system moving forward.

Electric Vehicles As Distributed Energy Resources

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is a smart charging technology that enables electric vehicle (EV) batteries to give back to the power grid. V2G-enabled EVs can act as distributed energy resources (DER) to provide additional capacity to support and stabilize the grid during times of heavy demand. Connecting V2G-enabled EVs to the grid is extremely complex, and both EV and EV supply equipment (EVSE) developers must ensure their products conform with standards to ensure safety, reliability, and power quality. This eBook explores the exciting frontiers for V2G enablement, and covers the following: Changing grid architectures, Balancing the grid with V2G-enabled EV / EVSE, V2G compliance standards across the world, Design and test challenges for DER manufacturers, Overcoming V2G test challenges.
