Title
Advancing Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles Via Utility Industry Battery Acquisition and Leasing
Description
Utilities could benefit from a US vehicle fleet with a greater number of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) if they incorporate vehicle to grid (V2G) technology. One of the largest barriers to faster introduction of PHEVs is the cost of the main battery, combined with the battery’s durability and performance. To accelerate widespread introduction, it may be useful to create a program to directly offset the added costs and risks of the battery portion of PHEVs. A ratebase approach by electric utilities could be the answer.

Three new demonstration projects caught our attention - a smart grid effort in Albuquerque's business district, a rapid recovery transformer study in Texas and a trial involving low voltage current sensor technologies in the UK. They also got us to thinking: At this stage in the smart grid build out, if you could design a demonstration project, what would it entail? That's our latest Tuesday Topic; click for the details.
