WHY EV?

• Efficient transportation• Renewables displace fuel• Good for SmartGrids

– Dispatchable Load– Electrical Storage

• EVs are comings– Light duty cars and trucks– 4 wheelers– Snowmobiles ?

EV Battery Needs

• Opportunistic Charging– Slow charging immediately after use– Key to battery life

• Dual Rate Charging High - 240 V 2 hoursSlow - 120 V 12 hours

EV Value in SmartGrids

• Dispatchable Load• Energy Storage

Stability - Seconds

Spinning Reserve - Minutes

Load Shifting - Hours

Dispatchable Load Value

• EPRI: 75% battery value for SmartGrids is as dispatchable load.

Requires• Standard on-board vehicle chargers• Controlled charger sites

– Communicationsor– Frequency Control at site

3/8/11


Electrical Storage

• Stability and Spinning Reserve – Bi-Directional Charger (Not Main stream)– Remote control – Battery life issues– Secondary

• Number of EV’s plugged in• State of battery charge• User preferences

Electrical Storage

• Load Shifting – Bi-directional charger– 50% of value as dispatchable load– Bigger battery life issue– Smaller value proposition– Bigger social issue

Questions for Isolated Grids

• Can they leverage higher renewable contribution?

• How will they compare to batteries, flywheels, ultra caps ?

• Is there financial leverage?

• What impact from social issues?
