Project Bidirectional Charging Management—Results and
To this end, an intelligent bidirectional charging management system and the associated components of EVs were developed and tested in a real environment to be able to
Solar-plus-storage system adoption is rising, particularly in California and Hawaii, driven by net metering policy changes encouraging energy self-consumption. Given the right energy management solutions, bidirectional charging, or V2X, could add significant storage capacity for these systems.
Bidirectional charging allows an electric vehicle to both charge its battery from the electrical grid and discharge energy back to the grid or another electrical system. This capability will not only enable emergency backup power for homes and businesses but also allow users to alleviate grid strain and reduce energy costs.
Given the right energy management solutions, bidirectional charging, or V2X, could add significant storage capacity for these systems. In addition, pairing a V2X system with stationary batteries can improve overall system efficiency and provide a more seamless transition of the home to backup mode.
Integrating bidirectional charging with solar and storage systems is vital to future energy management. About 8% of U.S. homeowners currently use solar panels. Despite recent market challenges, growth in U.S. solar installations is expected to continue at a steady rate at least through 2028.
