What is a Smart Grid? Source: EPRI
Electric Vehicle Preparation • Major OEMs introducing EVs to US • Charge Location • Battery Issues • 26% of the market in 10 Years (includes hybrids) Source: Boston Consulting Group
“Smart Grid” Deployment Requirements • Evaluate the technology • Define very clear goals (how many cars charged each day) • Perform a detailed cost benefit analysis that relates to all concerned parties
Key “Smart Grid” Questions • Who pays for deployments that don’t perform? • How are the benefits measured and reported? • Is the project plan for deployment of equipment and technology realistic?
Electric Vehicle Facts • Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) are becoming the standard • Prius is now offered as a PHEV for 2012 • Volt is now offered as PHEV for 2012 • PHEVs Eliminate Commuter’s “Out of Energy” fears
Electric Vehicle Facts Cont. • Public Charging Stations may not be required • PHEVs can be charged at home as needed • PHEVs remove massive capital expense for additional infrastructure to support Electric Vehicles
The charging of Electric Vehicles will not put excessive strain on the system Electric Vehicle charging can and should be managed with technology and pricing policies
Electric Vehicle Load Monitoring • We have the technology to observe changes in load from the charging of Electric Vehicles • EV rate option/pricing programs can be used to affect consumer behavior
