Use Case: V2L
The Vehicle to Load (V2L) use case is significantly different from the previous two we have looked at. The key difference is that the EV is not connected to the …
Course: Vehicle-to-Grid Charging for Electric Cars
Use Case: V2H & V2B
The Vehicle to Home (V2H) and Vehicle to Building (V2B) use cases are very similar, so we will look at these together in this step. In fact from a technical …
Proposition 2: Energy Resilience
Looking beyond direct financial benefits, our second value proposition considers using V2G to support energy resilience. This relates to V2G chargers discharging EV batteries for their implementation as a back-up …
A Domestic V2G Case Study
Overview of the Project Sciurus In this step we are going to look at a domestic V2G case study and see how this might differ from the non-domestic applications we …
Barriers 3: Hardware and Compatibility
What would happen if the cost of V2G hardware reduced, and policies all changed to fully support V2G and enable flexibility trading, but everything else remained the same? The answer …
