Can vehicle-to-grid facilitate the transition to low carbon energy systems?
James Owens, Ian Miller, Emre Gençer
Abstract
Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) allows electric vehicles to provide power and services to the grid. At scale, V2G can bolster renewable energy growth and eliminate storage and displace firm generators traditionally used to balance wind and solar intermittency.
