What is Demand Response?

Driivz

However, with the growth in renewable energy sources , utilities are exploring demand flexibility aimed at increasing consumption at times when solar or wind energy is abundant. EV owners can install smart chargers at home and capture savings through participating in a utility’s Demand Response program for EV charging.

The Role of Power Utilities in Turning EVs into a Grid Asset – Part 2

Driivz

In circumstances when supply is limited and time constraints apply, such as supporting on demand fast and superfast charging in the highway corridor, local solar energy generation and battery storage can fill in shortfalls from the grid. The battery can “tell” the grid how much power is available in its battery.

Testing and refining EV charging standards: Q&A with CharIN’s Executive Director

Charged EVs

Combining green energy with green mobility is part of CharIN’s mission and our vision, so we absolutely are invested in making sure that the electrons used by our EVs are as clean as possible, and the best way to do that is to marry it with renewable energy generation, and allow vehicles to become an alternative to stationary storage.
