What if you were reimbursed 5x your meter price for the power you sell back to the grid? With electricity spot market, this sort of money is around and should of course go to the vehicle owners, at least a big share of it. Only a fraction of the total battery capacity would be involved in this scheme and with light load, so the battery degradation would not be that big. And this would not happen daily.
- friendzis 4y ago> With electricity spot market, this sort of money is around This happens precisely because of supply-demand - peak dispatchable bulk generation is more expensive. VtG brings a lot of cheap supply bringing prices down and causes balancing stress on distribution grid, increasing distribution costs. 5x sounds like an absolute pipe dream
- Maakuth 4y agoThe price level would be determined in the market of course, maybe most vehicle owners would be ready to participate with lower reimbursement ratio. Anyway, I doubt this would cause a lot of stress to the distribution grid as the vehicle batteries are probably closer to the loads than the large scale power stations. The EVs powering neighbourdhood ACs and so on. So at least the distribution transformers could easily see lower load than without V2G.
