IBM Research has teamed with EKZ, the electricity utility provider of the Canton of Zurich in Switzerland, on a new pilot project that will allow consumers conveniently to charge electric vehicles and monitor their energy costs, using mobile devices.
and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) on a new pilot project that will allow communication between electric vehicles (EVs) and the powergrid. This project will demonstrate and test an electric vehicle’s ability to receive and respond to charge instructions based on the grid condition and the vehicle’s battery state.
By analyzing the capacity needed from the distribution network for various types of vehicle charging / recharging, Bratislava can not only implement an optimal powergrid, but also address the charging concerns shared by its citizens. —Guido Bartels, General Manager of IBM's Global Energy and Utilities Industry.
The major driver for the project is the need to decarbonize the electrical grid, protect it from cybersecurity attacks and make it more resilient. We will be replicating the entire California powergrid on one campus. The goal is to make the testbed available to outside research teams and industry by 2025.
The remarkable advantage for BMW customers in using BMW i3 batteries as a plug and play storage application is the ability to tap into an alternative resource for residential and commercial backup power, thus using renewable energy much more efficiently, and enabling additional revenues from the energy market.
This is necessary because power generation from renewable energies depends on availability of sun and wind and can therefore only be controlled to a limited extent. With this business model, we can help stabilize the grid and expand the use of sustainably-generated electricity. Joachim Kolling, head of BMW Energy Services.
V2G: Vehicle-to-grid , where the powergrid uses stored EV electricity to balance loads during high-demand periods, avoids the need to increase generation capacity to meet increased demand to power EVs. This helps balance the grid overall and, where available, takes advantage of flexible energy markets. .
Future generations will increasingly rely on the grid to power their vehicles. Consequently, powergrid stability and resilience have caught the public’s attention as the demand for electricity and energy-consuming technologies continues to rise.
