The technology’s operational flexibility can also be integrated with other carbon-free renewable energy sources such as wind and solar to provide consistent power and to help enable stable grid performance.
Unlike those you may have grown accustomed to seeing, many of these stations don’t just charge electric cars—they can also send power from vehicle batteries to the local utility grid for use by homes and businesses. Debates over the feasibility and value of such vehicle-to-grid technology go back decades. This is good for the grid.
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.
mpg by 2016. Imagine the change to this outlook if these companies were required to provide 20 percent of the power they generated from an alternative energy source in order to provide any power to the grid. Even with the implementation of the smart grid it seems unlikely that we will all be able to buy our power from West Virginia.
