I maintain that V2G is dead on arrival. It cannot work unless vehicles are plugged in all day, and every single one of them would need 50 Amp very expensive L3 "stations".
YET the Demand-response side of grid balancing is wide-open. And can work with nothing but rows of 120v L1 outlets at work parking. But it demands "charging-at-work". That is, cars are plugged in all day to simple L1 120v outlets while parked and are available for grid DUMPING of lower cost energy during the day as peak solar and peak wind provide. It’s a win-win-win. The Drivers win, people sho live in condos or rentals without home charging win, the company wins by being able to level its peak loads and the grid wins by being leveled. Already in California, Electricity is more plentiful (should be cheaper) in the day due to solar than it is at night. That's when we need to be charging EV's at work! Its just a bridge to far to expect people to give the grid access to their $10,000 battery with little in return (V2G) Bob, WB4APR -----Original Message----- From: EV [mailto:ev-boun...@lists.evdl.org] On Behalf Of Cor van de Water via EV Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2017 5:45 PM To: Electric Vehicle Discussion List Subject: Re: [EVDL] EVLN: EV-newswire posts for 20170607 There are generally two different areas of V2G (Vehicle to Grid) that each have their own characteristics and are totally different in their impacts: 1. would better be called Grid Storage, this is where the grid is supplied with less generation capacity than what is needed for longer periods of time so that a storage buffer is needed to be filled during low consumption periods (nights or morning) and is emptied during the afternoon/evening peak consumption period, so it is a daily cycling application. This is often done in conjunction with generation types that cannot be controlled such as wind and solar, they might deliver enough energy to balance the daily need, but not always at every point in time, hence the need for buffering. But the same thing can be designed using traditional generation that has lower capacity than the afternoon/evening peak needed, but which can deliver a total amount of energy throughout the day to balance daily consumption 2. this would better be called brownout protection or stability control. There are no large amounts of energy drawn from the battery ever, since the grid can at any point in time generally deliver enough energy to cover consumption. But there are short moments when consumption spikes or generation is switching or starting up, where a short burst of power is needed to avoid the voltage/frequency dropping below spec. Truly brown-out protection to bridge over short periods (usually less than 1 second) of high power bursts. The second case is very different from the first one. The first one simply puts extra *full* cycles on the pack, wearing it out faster. The second one is virtually not measurable as added cycles, it behaves similar to a vehicle driving around with regen braking: if you need to slow down a little and then acclerate, so you put energy back into your battery for a second and then accelerate again to pull that energy back out - those micro-cycles are hardly noticeable, especially when done while the pack is near half-full. Since V2G allows the *grid* to communicate to the charger to stretch out the charging of the battery over the time until the car is needed again, it might actually *prolong* the life of the pack, compared to simply charging full power as soon as plugged in. So, the second case of V2G might be beneficial to the EV owner, not just in preserving his battery life, but also providing a more stable grid and for being *paid* to make (part of) his battery capacity available for this. Just my view, Cor. -----Original Message----- From: EV [mailto:ev-boun...@lists.evdl.org] On Behalf Of Michael Ross via EV Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2017 11:38 AM To: brucedp5; Electric Vehicle Discussion List Subject: Re: [EVDL] EVLN: EV-newswire posts for 20170607 Regarding the post: "EVLN: Researchers found delayed ToU G2V had a negligible impact on EV pack capacity .

Since battery degradation is path-dependent, any changes in usage can lead to different degradation mechanisms and drastically influence the reliability of the batteries.” I am waiting for the full text to look closer at the charge and discharge histories. I am not sure the path(s) they chose represent anything useful. Too many possible configurations and charge/discharge histories to say if grid connected EV packs necessarily must suffer this damage.BTW, the article doesn't come up (needs subscription?). I used the info in Bruce's transcription to find a source for the article.
