The PNNL technology tells a vehicle’s battery charger when to start and stop charging based upon existing conditions on the electrical grid. has licensed smart charging controller technology developed at the US Department of Energy (DOE) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) for incorporation into its charging station equipment.

The smart charger allows project developers to leverage HOMER Grid's capability to model demand charge reduction in any distributed renewable energy system and apply this to an EV charging station. It prioritizes the use of renewable power and schedules charging to take advantage of grid electricity when it is at its lowest cost.

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.

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.

If we could leverage the battery that’s already in the vehicle, then that’s potentially making the vehicle a more cost-effective grid asset, because it’s already used for other purposes and therefore may be able to do the same things for less. I don’t notice any disruptions in charging, and I get paid.

According to data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) , more than 300,000 battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles were collectively registered throughout the year – almost four times the number of diesel cars sold. After all, EVs are basically just mobile batteries.
