ZAP has entered into a non-exclusive license for the SmartCharger Controller technology developed at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). The controller technology allows electric car owners to recharge their rides at times of lowest cost and least stress on the grid. Earlier post.)
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed a SmartCharger Controller for plug-in vehicles that will automatically recharge vehicles during times of least cost to the consumer and lower demand for power. PNNL engineer Michael Kintner-Meyer.
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.
As it prepares to launch an electric-car mandate in coming years, Colorado is working to learn how electric cars can help it move to a more renewable energy grid.
General Electric and Nissan plan to research “smart charging&# technologies for electric vehicles to help consumers take advantage of cheaper electricity rates and keep the powergrid stable. smart-grid lab for three years. “Initially the small numbers of electric vehicles will not strain the grid.
Vehicle to Grid is a really interesting area to do projects. The idea here is that you can connect your EV to the powergrid and flow power from your EV to the Grid. An electric car acts as a load or micro-generating station for the grid. Advantages of V2G in grid perspective 2. are a few topics.
Some people even invest in smartchargers that apply extra power when it gets too cold outside. Preheating your car when it’s still plugged in is highly recommended–this will use energy from the powergrid instead of taking from the battery’s reserves, saving valuable energy for driving.
Wooden Spoon – Smart EQ Fortwo. Let’s face it, the powergrid is always down in the murky setting of a post nuclear zombie movie or game. First Place – Tesla Cybertruck. Second Place – Rivian R1T Pickup. Third Place – Tesla Model S. What about charging?
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. This promotes grid resilience using low-demand hours for EV charging power.
