Since , electric vehicles (EV) have been supporting the grid in times of need. In February , a milestone was achieved when they were used to pump electricity into the grid during a blackout in Victoria. It was a world first event. It happened in response to transmission towers being knocked
CSIRO and Essential Energy trial shows EVs can act as solar-charged home batteries using common CCS2 plug. Demonstrates vehicle-to-grid (V2G) power supply using CCS2, Australia’s dominant EV charging system. Shows how EVs can draw from home rooftop solar and return power to the grid at peak times.
Leading Australian logistics firm Centurion the country’s first fully off-grid and 100 per cent renewable energy-powered battery electric vehicle (BEV) truck fleet is now fully operational. Centurion announced the $29 million project early last year, with funding from the Australian Renewable
The NRMA has announced on the 9th of October , a partnership with the UTS Institute for Sustainable Futures (UTS-ISF) and transport research centre iMOVE Cooperative Research Centre to research how electric vehicle batteries can be used as energy storage through bi-directional charging. In a
A landmark collaboration between CSIRO and Essential Energy demonstrated how commercially available chargers paired with rooftop solar can store daytime solar output in an electric vehicle (EV) battery, then discharge that energy back to homes or the grid overnight. Trials at Essential Energy’s
Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging, where electric vehicles can be used to power households and export energy to the grid, has cleared an important regulatory hurdle. The federal government says the first V2G chargers will be certified by Christmas, but industry experts say a more likely timeline is
The ultimate battery: how your EV could reduce power
An ARENA commissioned report from by enX consulting, found the potential storage in Australia’s EV fleet by will be nearly four times the total of the NEM’s storage requirements. Only 10% of this capacity could
New study brings vehicle-to-grid technology a step
As EV adoption grows across Australia, V2G technology has the potential to provide flexible energy storage that supports a more renewable-powered energy system.
Australia’s first fully off-grid and renewable battery truck project
Logistics company announces completion of Australia's first off-grid and totally renewable electric truck hub, charging a fleet of 30 electric trucks with onsite solar and battery storage.
NRMA partners with UTS and iMOVE to lead the charge in EV
This research will explore how electric vehicles can be harnessed as mobile energy storage to deliver value to Australian households as well as benefits to the grid.
The road to V2G
ARENA CEO, Darren Miller, champions V2G as “the future of distributed energy storage,” projecting that even ten per cent EV participation could satisfy 37 per cent of NEM storage needs – all while saving Australians
Electric vehicle battery storage displacement of grid
We investigate the potential of vehicle-to-grid and second-life batteries to reduce resource use by displacing new stationary batteries dedicated to grid storage.
Vehicle-to-grid roadmap a turning point for Australia’s
The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has today released a National Roadmap for Bidirectional EV Charging, which outlines modelling, opportunities and recommendations.
V2G, which can turn EVs into giant home batteries, is
A new kind of charger that allows an electric vehicle to be used as a giant home battery is close to going on sale in Australia. So how does it work and is it worth the price?
What energy storage technologies will Australia need as
The paper reviews energy storage technologies and their applicability to the Australian National Electricity Market (NEM). The increasing dynamic variability between
