Digital Transformation at the Grid Edge

The grid edge is rising in prominence in the energy industry. What should utilities know about this and its impact on their business?

VP Marketing Communications, Greenbird Integration Technology

Utilities can also transition to new business models seamlessly once they’ve established a concrete digital DNA. Energy companies can no longer rely on traditional revenue streams to sustain themselves. The future of the energy industry calls for innovative platform utilities as consumers gain access to more service providers than ever before.

Power after Carbon: Building a Clean, Resilient Grid

As the damaging and costly impacts of climate change increase, the rapid development of sustainable energy has taken on great urgency. The electricity industry has responded with necessary but wrenching shifts toward renewables, even as it faces..

Executive Director, Boston University Institute for Sustainable Energy

Jacquie, what qualifications does Peter Fox-Penner have to be writing books about energy? I might even be interested in buying his glossy coffee-table "publication", Power After Carbon ($35), but it appears he has no peer-reviewed research on the subject to his credit. His bio lists a non-specific "Phd" from the University of Chicago, and BS and MS degrees from the University of...

Can Your Electric Car Be Used to Help Power the Grid?

Can your Electric Car be Used to Help Power the Grid? A Southern California Edison demonstration project explores whether EV batteries are a viable resource to help power the electrical system.

Program Manager, Supplier Diversity & Development, Southern California Edison

There's a recent Youtube video titled "Bidirectional Charging in a Tesla Model 3? BUSTED". It's relevant to this discussion, and I recommend it. It doesn't discount the possibility that Tesla vehicles could support V2G, or at least bidirectional charging, in the near future. However, reports that it's already implemented in the Model 3 power electronics appear to be mistaken. Key...

A link to the video Roger is referencing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERzUfB-gNCI

Thanks for the link Roger, I'm always amazed when someone is willing to disassemble his $50,000 vehicle just to learn how it works (and void the warranty). "It would make both technical and business sense to link the V2G capabilities with a new model PowerWall." Whether it makes environmental sense is a question no one is asking, and they should be.
