Leading utility customers
Two-years of real-world smart charging experience
Hundreds of plug-in vehicles currently grid-aware via GridPoint technology
Integrating with Level 1-3 charging infrastructure
Idaho National Laboratory’s (DOE) solution for EV / PHEV data capture
Proven smart charging experience:
Electric Transportation Arriving Soon

Over
70%of auto makers*
are introducing plug-in vehicles
*by market share
Smart Charging:
Manages the one-way flow of energy
Allows drivers to set parameters
Balances grid & driver needs via sophisticated software
Enables adaptive management:- Delay/slow during peak demand
- Increase with availability of renewable energy
Establishing a Smart Grid Infrastructure for EVs

Plug-In Vehicles
Connecting to the grid in 2010
Many rollouts call for 240V/L2 wall mounted garage chargers
Adoption likely clustered in neighborhoods
Grid Distribution System
Charging management technologyis required*
Capacity exists for wide EV adoption*
A few EVs, clustered & charging at peak, could impact reliability

One Example of Value—Smart Charging Used to Increase Renewable Integration
Load ShiftingTime based management shifts charging behavior intonon-peak periods
Demand valleys can be filled by scheduling charging around a central time
Load ShapingFollowing an signal or schedule, charging load can be dynamically shaped according to grid needs
Renewable IntegrationBased on a live wind or solar signal, charging can be synchronized with the availability of renewable energy
Spinning ReservesThe flow of energy can be rapidly slowed or stopped, creating capacity in response to an unexpected power disruption
Economic DispatchFollowing a real-time price signal allows energy economics to determine charging behavior
Smart Charging Management Opportunities
Load Shaping
Economic Dispatch
Advanced AnalysisSupports complex performance evaluation, including MPG, fuel & energy consumption, charging data, etc.
Improved Performance DataData is automatically logged & securely uploaded, increasing reliability & enabling real-time evaluation
Increased FlexibilityMultiple methods of intra-vehicle & client/server communication are supported
Remote software updatesStaff involvement in data collection & administration is minimized with remote support & configuration
Enduring InvestmentA second software license is all that's required to explore smart charging, no additional hardware is necessary
State of the Art Performance Data Logging
Used by Idaho National Laboratory, the same client-server solution that enables smart charging delivers robust performance capture
Proprietary & Confidential
Smart Charging Demonstration
Preparing for Plug-Ins: What You Can Do
Smart charging demonstrations are opportunities to:
Assess the importance of controlling vehicle load at the distribution level
Explore various charging scenarios, including load shaping & peak shaving
Investigate synchronizing charging with wind or solar power
Gain experience enlisting participation in smart charging programs
Determine system requirements surrounding service area “roaming”
Establish the benefits of electric vehicles, confirming efficiency, decreased fuel costs, reductions in green-house gas emissions, etc.
How are you preparing for plug-ins?
