Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and the California Energy Commission today unveiled a utility-scale sodium-sulfur battery energy storage system ( earlier post ) pilot project to better balance power needs of the electric grid. The system has a 4 megawatt capacity, and can store more than six hours of energy.
Heavy duty, vehicle-to-grid fleet: A $2.3-million million contract to the US Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will help fund demonstration of an all-electric, heavy duty, non-tactical vehicle-to-grid (V2G) fleet at Moffett Field near SanJose.
megawatts (MW) of onsite power that reduces CO 2 emissions by approximately 50% compared to the grid and virtually eliminates all SO x , NO x , and other harmful smog forming particulate emissions. AT&T is the first telecommunications service provider to utilize Bloom Energy Servers to help power their operations.

San Diego-Carlsbad. San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward. SanJose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara. Finally, Electrify America will develop a platform that will allow drivers with a home charger to potentially offset their electric bills by plugging in and supporting a demand response platform for grid electric power stability.
Cities taking part include San Francisco, SanJose, Oakland, and Berkeley, along with Marin County. 200,000 to the Sacramento Area Council of Governments.
San Diego-Carlsbad. San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward. SanJose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara. Finally, Electrify America will develop a platform that will allow drivers with a home charger to earn financial rewards for plugging in and supporting a demand response platform for grid electric power stability.
T he Plug in 2008 National PHEV Conference in SanJose by most accounts was a big success. Seamless integration of PHEVs into the electric grid will require close collaboration between the automobile and electric sectors.” That’s why this relationship with EPRI and the utility partners is so important.”
Schneider Electric’s EV charging solutions will include Square D smart charging stations and smart grid technology. Intelligent communication and smart grid integration capabilities will be offered in advanced versions. Among those exhibiting were: Aerovironment.
In addition, other use cases/technologies are also under consideration including destination charging at California state parks to increase access to L2s, and, for higher power DC charging applications, targeted battery storage to manage peak demand, ease grid loads, etc. Additional metro areas will be targeted in future investment cycles.
As I read in the SanJose Mercury News about California's flex-fuel fleet fiasco. a near silent electric trolley bus passes by my window on Haight St in San Francisco, an old technology tried, true, and spurned by the environmental "experts" of the present and recent past. Google.org understood it after a few months study.
Plug-in 2008 in SanJose, California witnessed a noon-time address by new heavy-weight convert, Andy Grove, former CEO of Intel. One week earlier, former Vice President Al Gore issued his well-received challenge to make the American grid 100% renewable in ten years.
The startup’s service is currently available in the San Francisco Bay Area, SanJose, Los Angeles and Dallas. Many countries already run on 240-volt grids and only need a basic cable adapter to fast charge their cars. The United States uses a 120-volt grid. Future plans for SparkCharge.
With the coming solar feed-in tariff legislation moving through Sacramento that will pay us for the extra solar energy we produce and feed back into the grid. Good for the grid, good for you, good for the electric company (who won’t meet their AB 32 state mandates for renewable energy generation without our help).
And at the headquarters of Pacific Gas and Electric, utility executives are preparing “heat maps” of neighborhoods that they fear may overload the power grid in their exuberance for electric cars.&#. And local electrical grids may need reinforcement. Here’s the full text of the entire article, in case the link goes bad: [link].
The project supplies power to the City of SanJose, Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas & Electric Co. Brian Gorda, vice president of engineering at Terra-Gen, said, “Now fully operational, this facility is a transformational project in the industry and is providing resiliency to the grid.”
While he was an engineering professor at the University of California, Los Angeles , Samueli helped found company in SanJose, Calif., McDonald is a distinguished lecturer for IEEE PES and teaches classes on the smart grid. Henry Samueli BROADCOM Henry Samueli , cofounder of Broadcom and recipient of more than 75 U.S.
There are already spaces in New York City and Los Angeles, and there are now two in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I’m located. The newest Polestar Space just opened in Silicon Valley, at the Westfield Valley Fair, 2855 Stevens Creek Boulevard, SanJose. There’s a second location in Corte Madera in Marin County.
Coughlin is founder and president of Coughlin Associates in SanJose, Calif., Distinguished Lecturer for IEEE PES, and has given lectures in more than 30 countries on topics such as the smart grid, energy-efficient buildings, and sensor integration. Life Fellow Thomas M. Nominated by Petition. IEEE Board of Directors.
More recently, Gage became the CEO of EVGrid , working on Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) tech. Chapter member Ian Wright cofounded Tesla then later founded Wrightspeed, a company that built large hybrid trucks in SanJose. “The car was powered by thousands of small lithium batteries,” Pohorsky explained. Tesla licensed the technology.”

Williams joined IBM in SanJose, Calif., An expert in power electronic converters, electrical machines, and novel grid components, he spent almost his entire career in academia, conducting research in power electronics. He had earned bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering at Georgia Tech.
charger is also required, though ideally the existing motor controllers might be used as grid chargers. Vehicle-to-grid interface technology is also particularly well suited to Plug-in vehicles. Recharge a Car, Recharge the Grid, Recharge the Planet Google.org supports PHEV & V2G with [link] project.
At the 2008 Plug-In Conference in SanJose, Coulomb had the charging game all to themselves, but they were one of half a dozen charging players at this year’s show. The eBox above from AC Propulsion is sending power to and from the grid right there on the Long Beach Convention Center floor.
