Vehicle-to-Grid Gains Traction as Elastic Energy Reservoir

　　連接到電網(wǎng)，在電動汽車和家庭的大容量電池組提供了一個彈性能量庫，能夠擴展和合同所需的服務(wù)電網(wǎng)。使用電網(wǎng)連接的雙向轉(zhuǎn)換器，這些電池組可以幫助平衡高需求高峰和低需求的山谷。設(shè)計一個合適的轉(zhuǎn)換器可以具有挑戰(zhàn)性但工程師可以利用專為高效率的功率轉(zhuǎn)換來自多個供應(yīng)商的設(shè)備包括Diodes公司、仙童半導(dǎo)體、國際整流器，Intersil，線性技術(shù)，集成，芯片技術(shù)、半導(dǎo)體、意法半導(dǎo)體、德克薩斯文書，其中。

　　Deploying V2G

　　In practical terms， however， V2G has found limited acceptance to date due to economic， technical， and consumer concerns. Success of this approach largely relies on a combination of favorable tariff structures and availability of a critical mass of connected EVs — none of which are immediately available. On the technical side， battery wear remains a concern： continual charging and discharging can reduce capacity and enhance wear with currently available battery technologies. Finally， consumers remain concerned about fair financial incentives from the utility， the health of their vehicle batteries， and whether the vehicles will have sufficient charge when actually needed for transportation. As industry addresses the economic and technical limitations， however， these pivotal consumer concerns stand to lessen. In fact， more advanced charging/discharging algorithms are already demonstrating reduced impact on the lifetime of large battery stacks.
