The EDF PREMIO project, part of EPRI's smart grid demonstrations around the world, addresses congestion issues in the PACA region in the south of France. This project integrates renewable generation, storage and load shedding into a Virtual Power Plant that may be dispatched in response to storms, natural disaster, and local or regional demand issues.
PJM CEO Terry Boston told the forum that with smart grid controls in place and re-charging properly synchronized between midnight and 7 a.m., the electric distribution system could accommodate 25 million EVs, according to coverage of the forum in the Philadelphia Inquirer. 21st Century Telecom, Inc. V2G project and its proposed R&D team solves this problem!
