Earlier post.) Based in Richmond, B.C.
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.
Seattle; and Washington, DC. As part of the collaboration with dealers, utilities and local governments, Ford will help develop consumer outreach and education programs on electric vehicles as well as share information on charging needs and requirements to ensure the electrical grid can support customers’ needs. Portland, Ore.;
Use of electric vehicles would achieve greater reductions in GHG emissions, corresponding to the rate that the electric grid becomes cleaner, through greater reliance on renewables and low- and non-emitting generation. With a 62% share of light- and medium-duty vehicles in 2050 electric vehicles would consume 13% of grid-supplied electricity.
HVSC systems enable ships to draw electricity from onshore power grids while in port to operate onboard equipment as refrigeration units, lighting, cooling and heating systems, instead of burning fuel oil to run electrical generators. Fincantieri and ABB are already collaborating through Seastema S.p.A,
That’s the equivalent of driving from Orlando to Seattle three times in seven days. When batteries are discharged during testing, the energy produced will be transferred back into the building, and local public grid and scrapped materials will be recycled.
When power is abundant, it’s drawn from the electric grid and used to power a large air compressor, which pushes pressurized air into an underground geologic storage structure. Interest in the technology has increased greatly in the past decade as utilities and others seek better ways to integrate renewable energy onto the power grid.

Chicago, Portland, Boston, Seattle, Philadelphia, Denver, Houston, Miami, and Raleigh—and several highway corridors. In addition, other use cases/technologies are also under consideration including targeted battery storage to manage peak demand and ease grid loads, etc.
Seattle-based startup Hubble Network announced today that it had a letter of understanding with San Francisco-based startup Life360 to develop a global, satellite-based Internet of Things (IoT) tracking system.
The combined power generation from the combustion turbine-generator and the steam turbine generator would be approximately 400 MW (gross) with 213 MW sent to the grid, on average, and. the regional electrical grid by a high voltage transmission line system. the remainder being used to run the plant’s equipment.
Seattle-based. This Z-pinch approach—so named because the current pinches the plasma along the third, or Z , axis of a three-dimensional grid—could potentially produce energy in a device that’s simpler, smaller, and cheaper than the massive tokamaks or laser-fusion machines under development today.
Seattle startup Stoke Space has revealed plans to develop an efficient rocket engine similar to the Raptors that power SpaceX’s Starship. Lapsa says it will likely also have grid fins. Formed in October 2019, Stoke Space secured its first significant round of funding – $9.1 million – less than two years ago.
Grid Modernization for Electric Vehicles (Area of Interest 2).

Insecure communications leave the door open to threats ranging from petty theft (fraudulent billing) to major data breaches (theft of vehicle data or customer credit card info) to disaster-movie scenarios (sabotage of electrical grids). Communications between vehicles and EVSE are secured by means of public key infrastructure (PKI).
Hydropower in Seattle will push you around for the same price. During the midday hours, many grids will experience negative pricing as solar PV floods the market to the extent that the power cannot be stored. At that rate, the cost to operate an electric vehicle is 2 cents per mile. Cumulative EV Sales Worldwide. Click to enlarge.

Land Transport Authority.
A January 2007 Pacific National Laboratory study shows that if we woke up tomorrow and all our vehicles could plug in, todays grid could support more than three-quarters of them charging at night without building a single power plant. But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid.

Ironically, however, the applicability for these vessels would be when they are visiting ports outside of California (such as Portland (OR), and Tacoma and Seattle (WA)) since the major California ports are currently installing grid-supplied shore power capability at all container terminals. Honolulu, Hawaii; and Seattle, Wash.
Smart-grid technologies can help utilities better integrate renewable energy sources and run the transmission grid more efficiently, said Allan Schurr, the vice president of strategy and development at IBMs Global Energy and Utilities practice, which is participating in about 50 projects.
This approach consists of a discrete pose estimator that tracks the most likely sequence of object poses in a coarsely discretized grid, and a continuous pose estimator-controller to refine the pose estimate and accurately manipulate the pose of the grasped object. and NVIDIA, Seattle, Wash.,
Seen here near the port of Seattle, in 1962, the NS Savannah was the first nuclear-powered merchant ship. A large container ship needs about 3,000 megawatt-hours a day, which is roughly the capacity of the biggest grid battery ever built. Hundreds of nuclear reactors have since been used on ships and submarines.
Schulz, a member of the IEEE Power & Energy Society , authored or coauthored 32 papers on power grid testing reliability that were featured in IEEE publications. He retired in 2000 and became a consultant. He specialized in power systems analysis. and a master’s degree in 1966 from Union College , in Schenectady.
A lot of people don’t understand how that can be, but if you think about the topology of a charger, there’s the power electronics that are connected to the grid—that’s where the cabinet is—then there’s a cable going from there to where the vehicle is, and then there’s vehicle coupling. We’re somewhere in the 90 to 92% range.
Sure, 2x more people live within Seattle city limits than in all of Iceland’s huge expanses. Given it sells for only $4-5.5k, they can sell it all over the less-wealthy world (more precisely, in urban areas with reliable grid) if they can ramp it up. And two months into 2021 it has already scored another 57k sales!
