The University of Delaware has signed the first license for its vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology with AutoPort, Inc., Bi-directional power converter up to 18 kW. A minimum of 60 vehicles is needed to produce one megawatt of power when the vehicles are plugged into the grid. In September 2009, Delaware Gov.
The challenges involved in getting EV chargers hooked up to the grid are well-known to Charged readers. Various off-grid solutions are available, but the best approach may be a flexible one—using some combination of onsite generation, battery storage and grid power, according to what’s available and what’s needed for the application.
The converted vans will run on electricity only and will charge directly from the power grid. an automobile conversion company out of New Castle, Delaware. The converted vehicle will comply with Guidelines for Electric Vehicle Safety SAE J2344, and all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Earlier post.).
They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid. The company’s president, Tom Gage , dubbed the system “vehicle to grid” or V2G. And EV owners would become entrepreneurs, selling electricity back to the grid. And indeed, that’s how promoters of vehicle-to-grid technology perceive the EV.
AutoPort will convert the vehicle on-site at its facilities in New Castle, Delaware. The converted vehicle will comply with Guidelines for Electric Vehicle Safety SAE J2344, and all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
The new ARPA-E selections focus on accelerating innovations in clean technology while increasing US competitiveness in rare earth alternatives and breakthroughs in biofuels, thermal storage, grid controls, and solar power electronics. streamline the process by which green plants convert carbon. converted into a type of diesel fuel.
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.
Specifically, the project will demonstrate a 50-kW capacitive wireless charging system with 150 kW/m 2 power transfer density and 95% efficiency, while meeting fringing-field safety standards and increasing grid reliability by minimizing power pulsations.

VIA’s use of 100% renewable grid power ensures the battery electric buses will truly be zero emissions. Missoula Urban Transportation District.
Electric cars and a smart electric grid have a bright future, according to panelists at a roundtable discussion on the subject that I attended last Friday in Boston. “I Vehicle-to-grid is, I believe, the salvation of the automotive industry in the United States,” declared Marc Spitzer, an agency commissioner who was also on the panel.
We took all that information and qualified over 14,500 prospects who were ready to convert to electric We started acquiring vehicles about four years ago. And they assigned us every bit of capacity that was available on the grid. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) tech is a hot topic these days. Do you run 150 miles, 200 miles or less?
Until then, we also recommend you look at the FAQ at the Climate Progress Blog and the FAQ by Hybrids-Plus , an after-market converter of hybrid cars, for answers to many questions! But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid. Whats Vehicle-to-Grid and why would I like it?
