SwRI reaches milestone in EV-grid energy management
Author: Patrick Ponticel
Sector: Automotive
Topic: Quality, Reliability and Durability Noise, Vibration and Harshness
Fuels and Energy Sources Power and Propulsion Tests and Testing
Electrical, Electronics and Avionics Environment

Southwest Research Institute says it has deployed the first electric-vehicle
aggregation system using SAE International’s J1772 standard for dc fast
charging. The system, part of the Smart Power Infrastructure Demonstration for
Energy Reliability and Security (SPIDERS) Phase II program, is controlling five
fast-charge stations at the Fort Carson Army Base in Colorado Springs, CO. The
word aggregation refers to the ability of the system to see multiple EVs as a
single energy source. In August, the system passed integration and acceptance
testing, successfully aggregating electric vehicles from two vehicle manufacturers
equipped with SAE-compliant bidirectional charging interfaces. “The SwRI
aggregation system manages a fleet of electric vehicles, controlling both vehicle
charging and microgrid needs and supporting vehicle schedules, as well as
supplementing the base’s energy supply,” said Sean Mitchem, project manager
and a principal analyst in SwRI’s Automation and Data Systems Division.
Batteries in the EVs serve as cushion against fluctuations in the grid, creating
more stability and resiliency while improving the grid’s ability to accommodate
renewable energy from a solar energy array at the base. “Using this new
technology, electric vehicles can use or store this green energy more efficiently
than previously was possible,” Mitchem said.
