For years, boosters have EV heat of the possibility of all car batteries are used to store energy. In addition to drawing electricity, plugged into the cars would also be able to send electricity stored in batteries back in the grid, if necessary, act as small power plants.
The network must control the frequency in the short, medium and long term storage to run smoothly, and car batteries could more easily meet the short term, a process called. And as we increase our percentage of renewable energy from variable sources like wind and solar, the need of this service is growing.But why car owners allow their cars to be used this way? Enter the cash-back car.
The so-called vehicle-to-model grid, or V2G, has been a project company of Dr. Willett Kempton s "since 1997. In an article published this year by Kempton and colleague Steven Letendre, they placed the economy, electrical engineering, and how to calculate earnings.
Kempton then contacted the regional transmission organization (RTO), PJM Interconnection, which manages the wholesale electricity in 13 states and the District of Columbia, and he convinced to do what we can pay the clients for this service.
For the last three years, Kempton has operated a pilot project at the University of Delaware, in partnership with PJM and a couple of public services, in which seven electric vehicles interact with the network and receive monthly payments.
