It offers supporting recommendations and calls for the introduction of incentives to accelerate widespread adoption of V2G charging systems, enabling potential benefits to be unlocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also addresses some of the challenges that will be faced in the early days of V2G, particularly around creating a reliable business case for evolving energy markets and regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nissan, E.On Drive and Imperial College are partners in a commercial fleet V2G project \u2013 known as e4Future \u2013 which aims to demonstrate how electric vans and cars can support the UK grid and provide a profitable and sustainable option for business fleets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The e4Future project is part of the V2G competition, funded by the UK government\u2019s Department for Business, Energy &amp; Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), in partnership with Innovate UK, part of UK Research &amp; Innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andrew Humberstone, managing director of Nissan Motor in the UK, said: \u201cThere is enormous potential in vehicle-to-grid to deliver huge savings, both in financial terms for electricity system operators and vehicle fleets, and in environmental terms, by significantly cutting CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions across the UK power system. Nissan is at the forefront of efforts to realise this potential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The white paper indicates that V2G has the potential for reducing carbon emissions from the power system to as low as -243gCO<sub>2<\/sub>\/km. Electricity system operation cost savings in the UK could be up to \u00a312,000 per annum per EV and CO<sub>2<\/sub> reduction of approximately 60 tonnes a year per EV. Annual fleet V2G charging benefits could range between \u00a3700 and \u00a31250 per vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur research has demonstrated that V2G can provide very substantial economic benefits to the power system as well as reduce carbon emissions,\u201d said Goran Strbac, chair in electrical energy systems at Imperial College London. \u201cThis revealed that the additional flexibility provided by V2G fleets can considerably improve system efficiency and reduce investment in new low-carbon generation, while meeting national decarbonisation targets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In January 2018, BEIS and OZEV announced that 21 projects \u2013 eight feasibility studies, five collaborative research and development projects, and eight real-world V2G trial projects \u2013 were to receive funding of \u00a330m to develop the business proposition and core technology to support V2G deployment in the UK, including its demonstration with large-scale trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The projects involve more than 50 industrial partners and research organisations from the energy and automotive sectors, marking one of the largest and most diverse activities on V2G in the world, and trialling more than 1000 vehicles and V2G charger units across UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The projects represent a step towards the transition to low-carbon transportation and a smart energy system. Allowing EVs to return energy to the power grid when parked and plugged in for charging will increase grid resilience, allow for better exploitation of renewable sources and lower the cost of EV ownership, leading to business opportunities and advantages for EV users and energy consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>V2G technology allows electricity to flow in both directions to and from electric vehicle batteries, allowing energy stored in the battery to be sold back to the grid when demand for power is high. Vehicles can then charge when demand is lower or renewable generation is high, reducing reliance on fossil-fuelled generation and giving V2G a role in carbon reduction efforts. It can also release capacity on the electricity networks that distribute power around the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fleet vehicles are often uniquely suited to V2G applications, due largely to regular and predictable usage patterns, and the fact they often return to base at the end of the working day, where they sit idle overnight. This provides perfect conditions for V2G to use the energy stored in their batteries, before ensuring the vehicles are fully charged and ready for use again the next morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26710,"featured_media":8910,"template":"","news-category":[56],"library-tag":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Nissan and E.On white paper explores V2G technology - IoT M2M Council<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iotm2mcouncil.org\/iot-library\/news\/smart-energy-news\/nissan-and-e-on-white-paper-explores-v2g-technology\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Nissan and E.On white paper explores V2G technology - IoT M2M Council\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Japanese car maker Nissan, E.On Drive and Imperial College London have published a white paper highlighting the carbon saving and economic benefits of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology.
