- The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) have initiated a pilot project to explore the implementation of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology across the State.
- V2G refers to technologies that enable EV batteries to send power back to the grid.
- When an EV is not in use, it can act as a decentralised battery energy storage device.
- An idle EV, when connected to a bi-directional charger, can provide support to the distribution grid.
- Thus, it has two modes:
- Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V): Charging EVs using grid power.
- Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G): Discharging EV power back to the grid.
- This collaboration aims to assess the feasibility of integrating Electric Vehicles (EVs) into the State’s power grid.
- The U.S., U.K. and Netherlands lead with EV owners compensated for supplying power during peak demand.
