V2G Car Generates Electricity, and Cash
Posted by keelynet on December 12, 2007
There are also several schemes where cars have a generator attached to the flywheel so that the idling engine can produce about 7,000 watts of power which is used to run your house.
“University of Delaware researchers have created a system that enables vehicles to not only run on electricity alone, but also to generate revenue by storing and providing electricity for utilities. The technology–known as V2G, for vehicle-to-grid–lets electricity flow from the car’s battery to power lines and back. A team of UD faculty has created a system that enables vehicles to not only run on electricity alone, but also to generate revenue by storing and providing electricity for utilities. The technology–known as V2G, for vehicle-to-grid–lets electricity flow from the car’s battery to power lines and back. When the car is in the V2G setting, the battery’s charge goes up or down depending on the needs of the grid operator, which sometimes must store surplus power and other times requires extra power to respond to surges in usage. The ability of the V2G car’s battery to act like a sponge provides a solution for utilities, which pay millions to generating stations that help balance the grid. Kempton estimates the value for utilities could be up to $4,000 a year for the service, part of which could be paid to drivers. The technology will work on a large scale, he said, because on average 95 percent of all cars are parked at any given time. One hour a day of car usage is the average in America. “A car sitting there with a tank of gasoline in it, that’s useless,” he said. “If it’s a battery storing a lot of electricity and a big plug that allows moving power back and forth quickly, then it’s valuable.” Kempton already has one of those large plugs at his home. He has a 240-volt plug that gives the battery a full charge–or a range up to 150 highway miles–in just two hours. A smaller, standard 110-volt plug works but provides a full charge in about 12 hours. The smaller plug also moves less power for the grid operator when the car is in V2G mode, Kempton explained. “The bigger the plug, the more power you can move, the more revenue,” he said, explaining that it cost about $600 to have the larger plug installed.” - Source
