V2G: Vehicle to Grid Power - University of Delaware

This video shows a battery electric-drive vehicle with power electronics to perform V2G. The video first shows it producing steady peak power, then shows the hookups and power electronics, then shows the vehicle providing regulation. When putting out power to meet peak demand, a single vehicle cranks out 10 kW, enough to not only power the entire shop but also run the meter backwards! During regulation, it switches from charging to discharging and back second-by-second as needed by the grid operator or utility.
