V2G
A technology through which electric vehicles feed power back to the grid, participating in ancillary services such as frequency regulation and peak shaving. It requires advanced metering, communication protocols and grid-connection safety certification, and is currently mostly in pilot stages.
Timeline (last 90 days)
V2x technology is the collective term for how electric vehicles interact with the outside world, including V2H (vehicle-to-home) and V2G (vehicle-to-grid), among others.
V2G allows electric vehicles to feed power back to the grid under grid dispatch instructions, participating in ancillary services such as frequency regulation and peak shaving and valley filling.
V2G has far higher requirements than V2H for metering, communication protocols (such as ISO 15118 and OCPP), and grid-connection safety certification.
At present, V2G is still in the pilot stage in many parts of the world, while V2H has already entered the configuration lists of mass-produced vehicle models.
Selling power to the grid via V2G currently still faces restrictions from interconnection agreements and metering rules in most U.S. states.
In the short term, the more realistic path is V2H home backup power and demand response, rather than full-power feeding into the grid.
