DOE Webinar #2: A Business Case for Bidirectional EVs?

Loading Events

Is There A Business Case For Bidirectional Electric Vehicles And Charging Infrastructure? How would it work? How could bidirectional vehicles be integrated into the grid? Buildings as a broker? This is part 2 of a 2 part webinar series, sponsored by DOE’s Office of Technology Transitions, that will host a panel to answer these questions. This panel will describe how bidirectional vehicles will be integrated into the grid, the technologies involved, and where it’s already happening. We will discuss how bidirectional electric vehicles could be an important asset to the grid and to other energy customers, and how they could provide reliability, resilience, and introduce new revenue streams while supporting smart grid investments. We will also talk about the work underway in the private sector, and at DOE, presented by Argonne National Lab. Argonne will walk us through scenarios to illustrate the possibilities leveraging existing tools that could help decision makers with planning and execution. Learn about the role that buildings could play.
