Powerloop - Domestic V2G Demonstrator Project

电动汽车电池开启了一个司机从未体验过的新好处-电池可以帮助他们的家庭，街道和整个英国供电。这反过来又能实现对电网电力需求的创新管理，最大限度地降低电网加固成本，并支持间歇性可再生能源发电的进一步推广。Octopus Energy正在领导一个财团，与其他六家关键参与者- Octopus Electric Vehicles，Chargepoint Services，UK Power Networks，Open Energi，Navigant Consulting和Energy Saving Trust。这个独特的团队将使客户能够发现电动汽车，进行试驾，并获得特殊的V2 G捆绑包。双向充电器将使驾驶员能够智能地为车辆充电，当价格高时使用家中电池中的电力，或者将其卖回电网-为驾驶员创造价值。家用电动汽车（EV）电池的可用性有助于平衡系统，使电网灵活且响应迅速，允许更多地使用可变发电，如可再生能源，作为同类项目中的第一个，Beating Home提供了关于电动汽车作为电网平衡机制的有效性，驾驶员如何与电动汽车充电系统互动以及使这一切成为可能的技术的关键见解。有了这些数据，英国可以同时鼓励更多的电动汽车的吸收，同时将其顺利融入电网，与英国的脱碳目标保持一致。该联盟包括市场领先的充电点平台提供商（CPS），创新的聚合商（Open Energi）和电动汽车渗透率最高的地区的DNO（UKPN）。该联盟参与者的独特组合为在区域集群中大规模验证国内V2 G提供了无与伦比的机会。

Electric vehicle batteries unlock a new benefit that drivers have never experienced - the battery can help power their home, their street and the whole of the UK. In turn, this enables an innovative management of electricity demands on the grid, minimises network reinforcement costs, and supports the further roll-out of intermittent renewable energy generation.Octopus Energy are leading a consortium to unlock this value with six other key players - Octopus Electric Vehicles, Chargepoint Services, UK Power Networks, Open Energi, Navigant Consulting and the Energy Saving Trust.This unique group will enable customers to discover electric vehicles, take them for a test drive and access a special Vehicle to Grid (V2G) bundle. A two-way charger will enable the driver to charge their vehicle intelligently, use the power in the battery in the home when prices are high, or sell it back to the grid - creating value for the driver.The availability of the domestic electric vehicle (EV) batteries to help balance the system makes the grid flexible and responsive, allowing greater use of variable generation like renewable energy, and reduces the cost of EV ownership by rewarding owners for taking part.As the first project of its kind, Beating Home provides critical insight into how effective EVs are as a grid balancing mechanism, how drivers would like to interact with their EV charging system, and the technology to make it all possible. With this data, the UK can simultaneously encourage greater uptake of EVs while smoothly integrating them into the grid, aligning with UK decarbonisation goals.The consortium includes the market leading charge point platform provider (CPS), an innovative aggregator (Open Energi) and the DNO in the area where EV penetration is highest (UKPN). The unique combination of participants in the consortium enables an unparalleled opportunity to validate domestic V2G at scale in regional clusters.
