Vehicle to Grid Technologies (UD08-26, UD10-23, UD10-24, and UD10-28)
- Detailed Technology Description
- Vehicle to Grid (V2G) involves using excess battery powerfrom electric vehicles such as Battery Electric Vehicles and Plug-in HybridElectric Vehicles to help balance the load of localized power grid segmentsduring peak hours. The storage inelectric vehicles has not been used previously by the electric grid. There has never been any business thatnegotiates between grid operator power need and automobiles. Automobile fleets have not previouslyprovided revenue when parked.This provisional patent contains business models on thefollowing: fleet operator asancillary services provider, electrical distribution company (“electricutility”) as V2G aggregator and independent aggregator for V2G. Methods for calculating power availablefrom V2G are outlined. Additionally,the V2G can be used for the following purposes: Spinning Reserves and other ancillary services (FastReserves, Intra-hour adjustment, Standing Reserve, and Contingency); Regulationand for Reactive Power (this invention applies to both controlled by AutomaticGeneration Control (AGC) and by local diction and correction); Integration ofwind power or solar electricity (providing ancillary services such asregulation up/down, as well as electric storage); Providing peak power forurban rail, intercity electric rail, or other industrial users with peak powerrequirements, either to allow higher peak power use than existing utility connectioncan provide, or to reduce demand charges, or to eliminate separate billing itemfor ancillary services.
