Ryan Quint’s Post

Don’t miss the upcoming panel presentations and discussion 2 weeks from today on the topic of EV Charging and Grid Reliability at IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) T&D Conference on May 7th from 1-3 pm in Anaheim, CA. Ryan Quint, CEO of Elevate Energy Consulting, and former engineering director at North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) will lead off the discussion with a landscape overview and call to action for more engaged cross-sector collaboration and establishment of “grid friendly” charging practices. Bryan Jungers, Director of Mobility at E Source will provide an overview of some of the challenges in the areas of managed charging, EVs as a grid resource, and understanding the impacts of medium and heavy-duty vehicle charging, as well as the need for improved communications and data sharing. Ryan Garoogian, Senior Engineer at Southern California Edison (SCE) and Deepak Aswani, Supervising Principal Engineer at SMUD will share their perspectives regarding some of the challenges their companies are facing, as well as examples of mitigation strategies they are deploying, with the rapid growth of EV charging loads in their service territories. Peter Klauer Senior Advisor to the California ISO will share important insights on some of the operational challenges the CAISO is facing in understanding and managing EV load growth in the context of California’s changing resource mix and the increased presence of DERs. He’ll also highlight opportunities for EV’s to make positive contributions in addressing these challenges, as well as the need for standards which allow grid operators to gain greater situational awareness of EV and DER load impacts. Scott Caruso, President of Gridmetrics, Inc. will share valuable insights on the breakthrough broadband enabled continuous point on wave platform his company has developed for delivering insights to mitigate EV charging grid reliability impacts. This will be a great session and we hope you can join us. #gridreliability #evcharging #DistributedEnergyResources #EVs

Virtual power plants are coming near you. And they will reduce your electricity bills plus make power morereluable. Thanks to Jigar Shah for explaining this VPP benefits in a simple way. Enjoy. Pinakin Patel President and CEO T2M Global

Lowest cost way for Utility and Regulators to handle load growth and lower rates for everyone. The distribution cost avoidance is conservative in this study. Distribution should be by far the largest portion of the cost avoidance from the VPP in CA, less generation. "More than 7,500 MW of VPP capacity could be deployed cost effectively across the state over roughly the next decade. That’s significantly higher than the capacity of the largest power plant in California, and higher than the total system peak demand of Los Angeles." "All five VPP technologies considered in our study make material contributions to the total potential. This technological diversity is a benefit of VPPs if adoption of one technology lags behind expectations, accelerated adoption of a different technology could offset the impact." "The inclusion of additional VPP technologies would increase the potential estimate. For example, vehicle to grid capability could advance to the point of commercial deployment over the next decade, which would dramatically increase the contribution of EVs to the total. Standalone energy efficiency programs, while outside the scope of our study, also could significantly increase the potential estimate if targeting savings during peak hours. Thermal energy storage, behavioral demand response, and managed EV fleet charging are other potential sources of “virtual” capacity." #VirtualPowerPlants

By 2030, global energy demand from electric vehicle (EV) adoption is projected to increase by 631.96%, reaching 710,000 GWh*. This surge reflects the accelerating pace of EV adoption and underscores the critical role of a robust electrical infrastructure. As an electric power engineering consulting firm, NEI is committed to building the energy systems that will power our future. We’re equipped to meet the challenges and opportunities that this growth presents. Let’s talk about how we can help shape a sustainable and electrified future: https://lnkd.in/gRAJt3Q2 #EnergyDemand #EnergyInfrastructure #PowerEngineering #GridModernization *https://lnkd.in/gBaFmd5n

Not only is virtual power from distributed energy resources sizable in potential to deliver energy and capacity, but VPPs are also the FASTEST way to meet our clean energy needs, especially at a time when siting and permitting is getting harder and taking longer!

The Edison Electric Institute estimates some 9.6 million charge points will be needed in the U.S. by the end of the decade to support an estimated 18.7 million EVs on the road. As of April 2023, there were 136,513 charging ports at 53,764 public and private stations, according to the U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center. This massive increase in EV charging infrastructure will have important implications for the grid, and present stakeholders with significant challenges - and opportunities. 📍 January 28-29, 2025 - Atlanta, GA, United States
