The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) is pleased to announce a new webinar series, Is There A Business Case For Bidirectional Electric Vehicles And Charging Infrastructure? This series will include two informative, engaging sessions with distinct sets of panelists discussing different but related concepts in regards to bidirectional electric vehicles.
Webinar 2: How would it work? How could bidirectional vehicles be integrated into the grid?
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.
