Bidirectional electric vehicles (EV) employed as mobile battery storage can add resilience benefits and demand-response capabilities to a site’s building infrastructure.
In contrast to stationary storage and generation which must stay at a selected site, bidirectional EVs employed as mobile storage can be mobilized to a site prior to planned outages or arrive shortly after an unexpected power outage to supplement local generation or serve as an emergency reserve.
Bidirectional charging unlocks resilience benefits of EV batteries, offers demand-response capabilities, and can decarbonize backup power. Through V2G, bidirectional charging could be used for demand cost reduction and/or participation in utility demand response programs as part of a grid-efficient interactive building (GEB) strategy.
The size of a light-duty EV battery (approximately 15–100 kWh) makes individual bidirectional units ideal for smaller applications like individual buildings, where they can optimize the use of PV and replace or supplement emergency diesel generators. Larger bidirectional EV fleets can be employed for larger applications.
