Vehicle-to-grid systems will be tested and evaluated by PG&E together with Ford and GM beginning this year.
A VPP requires a “smart grid,” one in which the utility companies have the power to access all those batteries in real time over the internet to manage the flow of electrons on a second by second basis to balance the needs of the grid and the demand for charging. Instead of having two battery storage systems — one grid scale and the other for transportation — there would be one system that would serve the needs of all stakeholders.
The theory was that having millions of electric cars on the road would strain the electrical grid. The answer was to manage all those charging sessions so the utility company could reduce charging power as needed to support the overall functioning of the grid. Instead of a 1000 EVs all plugging in and calling for maximum power at once, computers would figure out how much electricity to give each car and when.
