Solving a Renewables Problem with Electric Vehicles

EE Times Current · 28 May 2021 · 37m

What this episode covers

Ritesh Tyagi, head of product innovation and growth strategy at Infineon, explains that while power generation is sufficient, the electrical grid's 100-year-old infrastructure struggles with transmission and managing peak demand from renewables and EVs. He argues that Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology allows the massive battery capacity of EVs to act as distributed storage, stabilizing the grid. Tyagi emphasizes that modernizing the grid requires next-generation semiconductors like silicon carbide and gallium nitride, along with increased sensor integration and AI for intelligent load management.

    Can the V2X dream become reality?

    Ty Jagerson, V2X lead at General Motors, discusses the potential for electric vehicles to stabilize the power grid through managed charging (V1G), vehicle-to-grid (V2G), and vehicle-to-home (V2H) technologies. He explains that while V1G is already being piloted with Chevrolet Bolt owners to manage load, V2G faces hurdles regarding battery degradation concerns and the need for bidirectional charging hardware. Jagerson argues that V2G is exponentially more valuable than V1G because it offers capacity resources even when the vehicle is charged, and predicts that high-renewable, volatile markets will drive early adoption. He also outlines GM's strategy to bundle V2H capabilities with the Silverado EV to provide home resilience, positioning the OEM as a central coordinator in a fragmented ecosystem of utilities, solar companies, and tech giants.
